but in playing those you hold well.

We all go through life bristling
at our external limitations,
but the most difficult chains
to break are inside us.
- Bradley Whitford 

We can let circumstances rule us,
or we can take charge and rule our lives from within.
- Earl Nightingale

Success is to be measured not so much
by the position that one has reached in life
as by the obstacles which he has overcome.
- Booker T. Washington
