It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.
~ Theodore Roosevelt ~
Learn to be quiet enough to hear the sound of the genuine within yourself so that you can hear it in others.
~ Marian Wright Edelman ~
Science can explain us, but it can't save us...Story can.

There isn't anyone you couldn't love once you've heard their story.
