You may have to risk something that currently feels secure in order to go after that plan, but with God's help, you may end up in an awesome situation if you'll just take the chance.”

As cicatrizes que o soldado ostenta no rosto e no peito são estrelas que guiam os outros ao céu da honra, e ao desejar justo louvor; e convém advertir que se não escreve com as cãs, mas sim com o entendimento, que costuma aperfeiçoar-se com os anos.”
