“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”

~Eleanor Roosevelt

I think this quote means that we should always stand up to our fears and overcome them because we can not move on in life. The fears we keep anchor us and won’t enable us to do anything in life or to enjoy it. Standing up to our fears will not be easy but our friends and family give us courage and confidence to overcome them.

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

~Helen Keller

I think this quote means we should always trust in one another because instead of being alone and accomplishing nothing, we can come together and accomplish anything possible. When you see your others fall, help them up, because together we can do the impossible.

“You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world but a world lives in you.

~Frederick Buechner

To me this quote means even if we try to put miles between family or friends they will always be with us, for the memories you made and the great times you had with them you have them in your mind and heart because you love them. So it is the same with the world, you love the beauty it shows because it lives within you.

“She stood in the storm, and when the wind did not blow her way, she adjusted her sails.”

~Elizabeth Edwards

I beleive this quote means that there are going to be storms or problems that we will face and we will want to leave behind. But if we keep ourselves intact and become with the wind we will make it out of the storm and into the sunshine. We have to be brave enough to ride the storm so we can enjoy the rest of life even though we know there will still be storms along the way.
