We learned to be patient observers like the owl. We learned cleverness from the crow, and courage from the jay, who will attack an owl ten times its size to drive it off its territory. But above all of them ranked the chickadee because of its indomitable spirit. – Tom Brown, Jr.

We need men with moral courage to speak and write their real thoughts, and to stand by their convictions, even to the very death. – Robert Green Ingersoll
