GRATITUDE
In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved. #<Author:0x00007fa064698708>
JUSTICE
Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms—to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way. #<Author:0x00007fa064697f88>
FREEDOM

COURAGE
And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store? What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more? #<Author:0x00007fa064693ac8>

INSPIRATION

UNITY
It's easy to find reasons for division between people. Finding common ground is harder, but a step towards happiness. #<Author:0x00007fa0646921c8>
COMMON GROUND
I don't want to live in the kind of world where we don't look out for each other. Not just the people that are close to us, but anybody who needs a helping hand. I can't change the way anybody else thinks, or what they choose to do, but I can do my bit. #<Author:0x00007fa064691188>
REACHING OUT
The one thing all famous authors, world class athletes, business tycoons, singers, actors, and celebrated achievers in any field have in common is that they all began their journeys when they were none of these things. #<Author:0x00007fa0646ff7a0>
DETERMINATION
It is not beauty that endears, it’s love that makes us see beauty. #<Author:0x00007fa0646feb20>
