"Stepping out and stepping up can be an intimidating experience, especially in social situations where the outcomes are unpredictable and uncertain. Have you ever been reluctant to . . . Say "no?" Request help? Ask for a raise? Stand up to a bully? Talk about tough topics? Confront a friend or spouse? Speak up and share your opinion? Begin a conversation with a stranger? Deliver a presentation or speak in public? Talk about the "white elephant in the room? Befriend people who are much different than you? Make sales calls because you don't want to be rejected? Approach a new group of people at a networking event? Go to an event by yourself where you did not know anyone?"

"The only thing I'm afraid of about this country is that it's government will someday become so monstrous that the smallest person in it will be trampled underfoot, and then it wouldn't be worth living in. The only thing in America that is still unique in this tired world is that a man can go as far as his brains will take him or he can go to hell if he wants to, but it won't be that way much longer."
Politics
"Are you proud of yourself tonight that you have insulted a total stranger whose circumstances you know nothing about?"
Ethics
"How could this be so, I wondered, as I read Mr. Underwood's editorial. Senseless killing--Tom had been given due process of law to the day of his death; he had been tried openly and convicted by twelve good men and true; my father had fought for him all the way. Then Mr. Underwood's meaning became clear: Atticus had used every tool available to free men to save Tom Robinson, but in the secret courts of men's hearts Atticus had no case. Tom was a dead man the minute Mayella Ewell opened her mouth and screamed."
Ethics
"As you grow up, always tell the truth, do no harm to others, and don't think you are the most important being on earth. Rich or poor, you then can look anyone in the eye and say, 'I'm probably no better than you, but I'm certainly your equal."
Morality
"We're so rarely called on to be Christians, but when we are, we've got men like Atticus to go for us."
Faith
"The gum looked fresh. I sniffed it and it smelled all right. I licked it and waited for a while. When I did not die, I crammed it into my mouth: Wrigley's Double Mint."
Experience
"I mean this: every time I come home, I feel like I'm coming back to the world, and when I leave Macomb it's like leaving the world."
Life
"Again, as I had often met it in my own church, I was confronted with the Impurity of Women doctrine that seemed to preoccupy all clergymen."
