George Washington, The Revolution is Not
Over
Because the Truth Hurts |
 |
"Let us therefore animate and encourage each other, and show the whole world that a Freeman, contending for liberty on his own ground, is superior to any slavish mercenary on earth" – George Washington, 2 July 1776
Stand the Ground Because the Ground Is In You
"Once to every man and nation comes a moment to decide,
In the strife of Truth and Falsehood, for the good or evil side;
Some great cause, God's new Messiah offering each the bloom or
blight,
And the choice goes by forever 'twixt that darkness and that
light.
Though the cause of evil prosper, yet 'tis truth alone is strong
Though her portions be the scaffold, and upon the throne be
wrong
Yet that scaffold sways the future, and behind the dim unknown
Standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above his own.
And if we will only make the right choice, we will be able to
transform
this pending cosmic elegy into a creative psalm of peace.
If we will make the right choice, we will be able to transform
the jangling discords
of our world into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood"
— James Russell Lowell

Never Give Up Hope from Your Own Personal Strength and Vision to Do What is Right |
Harriet Beecher Stowe
"Never give up, for that is just the place and time that
the tide will turn."
The
Bible, Matthew 17:20
"I tell you the
truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this
mountain,
'Move from here to there' and it will move."
St Francis of Assisi
"Start by doing
what's necessary;
then do what's possible;
and suddenly you are doing the impossible."
