The battles that count aren't the ones for gold medals. The struggles within yourself - the invisible, inevitable battles inside all of us - that's where it's at.

Take a stand

To sin by silence, when they should protest, makes cowards of men.

- Ella Wheeler Wilcox, quoted in Meeting Miss Irby, p180
