There's always a way -- if you're committed.

Human Dignity has gleamed only now and then and here and there, in lonely splendor, throughout the ages, a hope of the better men, never an achievement of the majority.

James Thurber

Once a disease has entered the body, all parts which are healthy must fight it: not one alone, but all. Because a disease might mean their common death. Nature knows this; and Nature attacks the disease with whatever help she can muster.

Philipus A. Paracelsus

Samuel Johnson

All does not yet gleam in glory, but all is being purified.

Martin Luther King Jr.
