There comes a time in every man's life when courage is no longer defined by the chances he takes, but rather, by the chances he leaves to chance.

The seeds of time are the precious elements that define who we are and carve the path of our future.

Boldness often attracts adversity, and the louder the conviction, the more shrilling the opposition. It is often wise then to lower the decibels of principle as the lower the volume, the louder the sincerity. The volume of audible whispers can be more ferocious than the shrill.

I don't believe it is fear that keeps the people silent, it's their courage that keeps the rest of them on their toes, wondering why the silence.

Pain gave me the desire to die; tears gave me the weakness to thrive; anger gave me the will to defeat; sympathy gave me peace of mind; love gave me serenity of heart; hope restored my inner child; faith carried me away from the grave; courage dried my tears; strength denied the sympathy and humbleness carried me through.

For so many years, I thought it was time that aged me until I realized that I hadn’t really aged at all, that it was still, just a matter of time.
