Fighting for happiness is the hardest thing you'll ever fight for, but it's the only thing worth fighting for.

There is no shame in falling down but there is pride in getting back up.

If I could give advice to anyone, it would be that sometimes the best way you can fight a problem - and this is going to be a little bit controversial - is to not address it.
