When You Know You Can Lose

“Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose.”

- Tom Krause

Doors

“When one door closes another door opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the ones which open for us.”

- Alexander Graham Bell

Love that Sticks Like Glitter

"...I am going to shake out my love on my kids like glitter. I want my love to stick in big clumps on my girls, and I want them to find it years later. I want my love to bring a smile to their faces because of its beauty, and I want it to add color and richness to their lives... no matter how messy it will get."

- MOPS, “Glitter,” Rhonda Headley, Council Coordinator

Let Your Light Shine!

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

- Used by Nelson Mandela in his 1994 Inaugural Speech

How Much Faith Do You Have?

"When you get to the end of all the light you know and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: either you will be given something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly."

- Edward Teller
