"Nobody is stronger, nobody is weaker than someone who came back.
There is nothing you can do to such a person because whatever you could do
is less than what has already been done to him. We have already paid the price."
- Elie Wiesel





"Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes.
In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear.
Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back
from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?" - Mary Manin Morrissey author





"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature,
nor do the children of men as a whole experience it.
Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.
Life is a daring adventure or nothing at all."
--Helen Keller



Adventure isn't hanging on a rope off the side of a mountain.
Adventure is an attitude that we must apply to the day to day obstacles of life --
facing new challenges, seizing new opportunities, testing our resources a
gainst the unknown and in the process, discovering our own unique potential.
--John Amatt organizer and participant in Canada's
first successful expedition to the summit of Mt Everest.






Never forget that life can only be nobly inspired and rightly
lived if you take it bravely and gallantly, as a splendid adventure
in which you are setting out into an unknown country, to face many a danger,
to meet many a joy, to find many a comrade, to win and lose many a battle.
--Annie Besant English Peace and Social Justice Advocate
