“We are all stumbling and falling under our own crosses,those carved from our hands, our sweat,and those not of our own making.”

“Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?”

“Are the details of our lives who we are, or is it owning those details that makes the difference?”

“Our only limitations are those we set up in our own minds”

“We're each our own person, we live our own lives, make our own mistakes, learn from them and move forward.”

“All men are created equal. It is what you do from there that makes the difference. We are all free agents in life. We make our own decisions. We control our own destiny.”
