Intro to Kalabox

3. Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The
most certain way to succeed is always to
try just one more time.
- T.A Edison

4. Infuse your life with action.
Don't wait for it to happen.
Make it happen. Make your
own future. Make your own
hope. Make your own love.
And whatever your beliefs,
honor your creator, not by
passively waiting for grace
to come down from upon
high, but by doing what
you can to make grace
happen... yourself, right
now, right down here on
Earth.
- Bradley Whitford
