More from Samuel Johnson & related wisdom
Develop enough courage so that you can stand up for yourself and then stand up for somebody else.
Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.
We always hope, and in all things it is better to hope than to despair.
Our world hangs like a magnificent jewel in the vastness of space. Every one of us is a part of that jewel. A facet of that jewel. And in the perspective of infinity, our differences are infinitesimal.
It's our insides that make us who we are, that allow us to dream and wonder and feel for others. That's what's essential. That's what will always make the biggest difference in our world.
