"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
we should stand for the things that mean the most to us and we should stand for them with dignity and honor.. we should be unashamed. if we stand for things we are ashamed of then they are not things worth standing for. we will all look back on our lives when we die and if we cant look back on them with a sense of accomplishment then the lives we had lived were a waste. live everyday like you have to go home and tell everyone what you did.
"It's a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it."
-W. Somerset Maugham
Let us live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry."
-Mark Twain
"He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
