Franklin D. Roosevelt inspired millions of wore-torn Americans to fight, while overcoming a depression that began four years before he took office. No one wanted to be involved in another war, and yet our aid was needed.

Focus

Thinking too far ahead is its own psychological warfare.

In writing, need has to be present.

Help Us All

This is world health, and the leaders who have experienced this type of crisis before are the ones who should be leading the effort. That we have not pooled these resources

Courage

We are building ourselves now, relying on a courage born not from fear of ridicule or embarrassment or pride, but wisdom.

Sexualized

Is being sexualized the act of being attacked in some way, grouped into a stereotype where one is degraded, shamelessly debased, and tastelessly portrayed?

Bad Habit

Bad habits are like bullies: they taunt you all day and you want nothing to do with them.

Opposition

“We have degraded our quality of life in exchange for seeing how fast we can move the dollar from one hand to another.”

Weakness or No

Faith vs. Imagination

“If faith is the act of believing in something’s existence when scarce proof is available; is the imagination the act of bringing what we believe into existence when scarce faith is available?”

Abstract

“Perhaps we are all looking for the chance to be artist; expressing what words and actions fail in an unmistakable practice of being human.”

Common Sense

Common sense is not a hustle, it cannot assume that everyone is out to get the better of someone or is of the same mind or same thing. It is in all of us to want better for ourselves, yet a great leap to expect it in others. It’s time we changed that.

Intimidated

“I can tell you that not having tried gets really old, and it's not a whistle that goes off, it's looking around and seeing that you haven't moved at all. As it is said ‘we only get the one life’. Don't be intimidated.”

Recession's Coattail

They give me hope because they haven't given up. Businesses are still growing, and we are definitely still spending money. However, I do wonder how long this particular means will last.

Conflict

There are struggles I have yet to journey, and may never in this imperfect state…I have no limitations except those I have bound to my own person…

Your victory awaits you on the other side of conflict. There is no compromise.

Passenger

“We are in a sense a world, and when we come close to each other, we share in that world; each with our own aspirations… trying to effect change.”

Curiosity

“Another conduit to choice…and what you do with it could be all you need to overcome any restraint and move forward.”

Black

“The type of change I may never see in my lifetime, but hope for, is to one day stand beside my countryman…To be looked upon not as a black man or an African-American, but simply an American.”
