Each time a man stands up for an ideal or acts to improve the lot of others or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. | |
— Robert F. Kennedy | |

Another trip around ol’ Sol done… Another chance to take a day to look back and think about all you’ve done and think about what you hope to accomplish on this trip. No matter what, you know we love you and are here to listen (and maybe advise). And, sometimes just chat… Sometimes that’s all it takes to remind us what a great job we did in raising you (although we’re sure you deserve some of the credit). | |
We love you always, | |

You may not always have a comfortable life and you will not be able to solve all of the world’s problems at once but don’t ever underestimate the importance you can have because history has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own. | |

You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith, and hope. | |

A man’s ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death. | |

Irreplaceable Sparks
Posted in Faith, Philosophy, Quotes, tagged Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand, Faith, Hope, Persistence, Philosophy, Quotes on January 10, 2018| Leave a Comment »
Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it’s yours. | |
― Ayn Rand | |
