The only thing I hope I did was never put in question my love for the game or my passion to be counted on when it mattered most.

Man is fond of counting his troubles but he does not count his joys. If he counted them up as he ought to he would see that every lot has enough happiness provided for it.

If you stand up and be counted from time to time you may get yourself knocked down. But remember this: A man flattened by an opponent can get up again. A man flattened by conformity stays down for good.

Follow the path of the unsafe independent thinker. Expose your ideas to the dangers of controversy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of 'crackpot' than the stigma of conformity. And on issues that seem important to you stand up and be counted at any cost.

My dreams were all my own I accounted for them to nobody they were my refuge when annoyed - my dearest pleasure when free.
