A Pledge

Though we are surrounded by difficulties, we will not give in to our fears.

More Wise Word from one who dared...

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
        - Helen Keller

Where The Mind Is Without Fear

Where the mind is without fear 

and the head is held high 

Where knowledge is free 

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments 

By narrow domestic walls 

Where words come out from the depth of truth Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection 

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way 

Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit 

Where the mind is led forward by thee 

Into ever-widening thought and action 

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

Rabindranath Tagore 

Wisdom from Helen Keller

So much has been given to me; I have no time to ponder over that which has been denied.

Helen Keller
