Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.
To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace.
It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.
It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
The only way to do great work is to love what you do.
