for all of us who at one time or other have felt cowed down by people or circumstances...
Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept noone's definition of your life, but define yourself.
- Harvey S. Firestone
God is not going to ask us how many people we were accepted by, or how many people we pleased, or what we did to stay in favor with people...
He is going to ask us what we did with our talents, our potentials, our possibilities...
