Stand up and speak out, be yourself

Don't let others tell you what you can or can't do, be yourself

You're stronger when you believe in yourself so...Be Yourself

Hourly joys be still upon you!
Juno sings her blessings on you. [. . .]
Scarcity and want shall shun you,
Ceres' blessing so is on you.
— Shakespeare, The Tempest (4.1.108-109; 116-17)

"The big sycamore by the creek was gone. The willow tangle was gone. The little enclave of untrodden bluegrass was gone. The clump of dogwood on the little rise across the creek--now that, too, was gone."
(Robert Penn Warren, Flood: A Romance of Our Time. Random House, 1963)
