“Courage is the starting point of everything good. To love another is to automatically feed the fire of courage. We cannot be humiliated when we are fighting for someone or something we love. We will not give up when we are fighting for loved ones. As we evolve, our loved ones extend out from our family to include all of humanity.

More importantly, we gain respect for ourselves.”

It is much like leaping from a window in order to avoid a fire yet in that most crucial moment knowing that God will appear to catch you.”
