Burdens

"When you find a burden in belief or apparel, cast it off."

The Edge

"I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center."

---Kurt Vonnegut

Courage

"Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others."
