 "A great deal of talent is lost in the world for want of a little courage.  Every day sends to their graves obscure men whom timidity prevented from making a first effort; who, if they could have been induced to begin, would in all probability have gone to great lengths in the career of fame.  The fact is that to do anything in the world worth doing, we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as we can."~ Sydney Smith 1771-1845

"A wise man once said, 'Whatever came to me, I looked on as God's gift for some special purpose.  If it was a difficulty, I knew He gave it to me struggle with, to strengthen my mind and my faith.'  That idea has sweetened and helped me all of my life." ~ Anonymous
