Taking a Stand.

Here are a Few men of many great people that have impacted my Life.
Many stood against all odds for what they believed in, each of them had their own difficulties and yet still gave all they could.

I have included their websites so if you are not familiar with ant one of them you can gain more information.

I like the saying "Those who stand for nothing, fall for anything ... " Alexander Hamilton, Peter Marshall or Malcolm X who said "If you Don't stand for something, you will fall for anything"
Everyone is credited as nobody seems to know who said it first ;)

Enjoy:

"I figured if I said it Enough I would Convince the World"  Mohammed Ali
"He who is not Courageous enough to take risks will accomplish Nothing in Life" - Mohammed Ali
"My Method is Different, I do not rush into actual work. When I get a new Idea, I start at once building it up in my imagination, and make improvements and operate the device in my mind. When I have gone so far as to embody everything in my invention, every possible improvement I can think of, and when I see no fault anywhere. I put into concrete form the final product of my brain." - Nikola Tesla

"I Learned that Courage was not the absence of Fear, but the Triumph over it. The Brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that Fear." - Nelson Mandela 





"A Champion is a winner,



A hero...



Someone who never gives up
Even when the going gets rough.
A champion is a member of
A winning team...
Someone who overcomes challenges
Even when it requires creative solutions.
A champion is an optimist,
A hopeful spirit...
Someone who plays the game,
Even when the game is called life.
There can be a champion in each of us,
If we live as a winner,
If we live as a member of the team,
If we live with a hopeful spirit,
For Life".
Mattie Stepanek
"None But ourselves can Free our Minds." - Bob Marley

"Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one." - John Lennon
Famous Speech to the United Nations on War 
"Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned: That until there are no longer first-class and second class citizens of any nation; That until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes; That until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race; That until that day, the dream of lasting peace and world citizenship and the rule of international morality will remain but a fleeting illusion, to be pursued but never attained; And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes that hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique and in South Africa in subhuman bondage have been toppled and destroyed; Until bigotry and prejudice and malicious and inhuman self-interest have been replaced by understanding and tolerance and good-will; Until all Africans stand and speak as free beings, equal in the eyes of all men, as they are in the eyes of Heaven; Until that day, the African continent will not know peace. We Africans will fight, if necessary, and we know that we shall win, as we are confident in the victory of good over evil..." - Haile Salassi
