You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself.

Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.

You cannot be afraid to speak up and speak out for what you believe. You have to have courage, raw courage.
