1 Tim 6:12 “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.”

COURSE

“A complete stranger has the capacity to alter the life of another irrevocably. This domino effect has the capacity to change the course of an entire world. That is what life is; a chain reaction of individuals colliding with others and influencing their lives without realizing it. A decision that seems minuscule to you, may be monumental to the fate of the world.” 
― J.D. Stroube

“You have to have more than hope to get what you want in life.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“Never give up in life, give your wholehearted try to every challenge coming your way even though the challenge seems impossible and much beyond your reach and potential.” 
― Pravin Agarwal

“Every person you meet in your life is your destiny. We alter the course of every life we touch, whether we realize it or not.” 
― Dannika Dark

CONTROVERSY

“At first, they'll only dislike what you say, but the more correct you start sounding the more they'll dislike you.” 
― Criss Jami

“Within any important issue, there are always aspects no one wishes to discuss.” 
― George Orwell

“People don't want children to know what they need to know. They want their kids to know what they ought to need to know. If you're a teacher you're in a constant battle with mildly deluded adults who think the world will get better if you imagine it is better. You want to teach about sex? Fine, but only when they're old enough to do it. You want to talk politics? Sure, but nothing modern. Religion? So long as you don't actually think about it. Otherwise, some furious mob will come to your house and burn you for a witch.” 
― Nick Harkaway

“Stigma's power lies in silence. The silence that persists when discussion and action should be taking place. The silence one imposes on another for speaking up on a taboo subject, branding them with a label until they are rendered mute or preferably unheard.” 
― M.B. Dallocchio

FIGHT

“Stand firm in the Lord. Stand firm and let Him fight your battle. Do not try to fight alone.” 
― Francine Rivers

“Learn to value yourself, which means: fight for your happiness.” 
― Ayn Rand

“Resistance is a sign that shows you're going the right way” 
― Constance Friday

“Alone, I can do nothing. Where two or three are gathered I have mounted an army willing to go into battle with me! Eternity is within my grasp.”
~ Joni Zipp

POWER

“Power resides only where men believe it resides. [...] A shadow on the wall, yet shadows can kill. And ofttimes a very small man can cast a very large shadow.” 
― George R.R. Martin

“The day the power of love overrules the love of power, the world will know peace.” 
― Mahatma Gandhi

“Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.”
Job 23:6, The Holy Bible

“I will not submit to the powers that want to take hold of my words. I will not give up without a fight. I am honored to carry the burden of life on my shoulder. The eternal path is the one that’s right.”
~ Joni Zipp

Pss. 21:13 “Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.”
