I knew that sometimes 

a little fear can be a good thing.

When you fear things will get 

worse if you don't do something,

it can motivate you to act.

But it's not good when fear prevents 

you from doing anything.

"The world is indeed full of perils,

and in it there are many dark places;

but there is still much beauty, and though in

all lands love is now mingled

with sorrow, perhaps it grows even more."

~ J.R.R. Tolkien ~

"It is interesting to observe that where life 

is simple and natural, and where children 

participate in the lives of adults, 

they are calm and happy."

~ Maria Montessori ~ 

“The greatest tool of injustice is fear.

People use fear to control.

They use silence to protect power.

They use ignorance to ensure obedience.”

~ Hagir Elsheikh ~

“True happiness is directly proportional to gratitude. 

To be truly happy, we must be grateful for what we have, 

instead of constantly striving for what we don't.”

~ Lloyd Mullins ~

"I am not the man I was when I failed,

but I wouldn't be who I am without those failures.

I didn't evolve despite my darkness;

I evolved because I faced it,

understood it, and refused to let it define me."

~ Gideon Smith ~

“Read books. Be interested in things. 

Get excited. Try not to be too hard 

on yourself. Enjoy the ever-present 

game of knowledge.”

~ Hank Green ~
