suffer too much.

Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as
clothes do against cold. For if you put on more
clothes as the cold increases, it will have no
power to hurt you. So in like manner you must
grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs,
and they will then be powerless to vex your mind.
— Leonardo da Vinci, painter, engineer, musician, and scientist (1452-1519) |

There is a vitality, a life-force, an energy of quickening, that is translated
through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time,
this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any
other medium and [will] be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your
business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares to
other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly,
to keep the channel open. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges
that motivate you. Keep the channel open. — Martha Graham, dancer and choreographer |

involves the belief that your personal worth transcends physical limitations;

| 12/16/2003 | It was not until I became a patient facing the diagnosis of a
chronic disease, multiple sclerosis, that I finally understood how
these patients felt. It was through the repeated experiences of
struggling to accept a body that seems to betray you, relinquishing
control, needing to ask for assistance with tasks even a child can
perform and having to redefine my role in a profession I cherish
that I truly understood. — Alicia M. Conill, M.D., Medical Director & CEO of the Conill Institute |
