More Fave Quotes

Here are several more that I really like:

• "Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold." -- Helen Keller (1880-1968), American writer
• "You must do the thing you think you cannot do." -- Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962), American First Lady
• "Press on: nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world of full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are overwhelmingly powerful." -- Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933), 30th President of the United States

(Hmmm. I just noticed that all three of these people were born within 12 years of one another. I promise that I like quotes made by people who are still alive, too.)
