Christopher Reeve: "A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles."

Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.

You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.

When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.

Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.
