“Why give up before we try?”

“Give up trying to make me give up”

“Why am I fighting to live,
If I am just living to fight
Why am I trying to see.
When there aint nothing in sight
Why am I trying to give,
When no one gives me a try
Why am I dying to live,
If I am just living to die?”

“I suspect the most we can hope for, and it's no small hope, is that we never give up, that we never stop giving ourselves permission to try to love and receive love.”

“Tamaki: You're the one giving up without even trying.”

“Never give up hope, try with confidence; you will be successful.”

“Don't try to make me grow up before my time…”

“The difficulty is that we try to perfect others before we perfect ourselves.”

“What I have learned from my travels is that by listening at least as much as we speak, and by trying to understand before we act, we perhaps stand a better chance of coming up with the right answers…”

“We must give up the idea of trying to please everybody. That is impossible, and the attempt is a mere waste of time. We must be content to walk in Christ's steps, and let the world say what it likes.”
