For my one thousandth post I picked another great quote by Abraham Lincoln. I think this one speaks volumes for our country and the time we are in right now.
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
Abraham Lincoln
"If you have no confidence in self you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence you have won even before you have started." - Marcus Garvey
"Children teach us a lesson adults should learn: to not be ashamed of failing, but to get up and try again. Most of us adults are so afraid, so cautious, so "safe" and therefore so shrinking and rigid and afraid. That it is why so many of us have resigned ourselves to failure." - Malcolm X
