“Don’t let fear stop you. Don’t give up because you are paralyzed by insecurity or overwhelmed by the odds, because in giving up, you give up hope. Understand that failure is a process in life, that only in trying can you enrich yourself and have the possibility of moving forward. The greatest obstacle in life is fear and giving up because of it.”

~Sonia Sotomayor

Associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States Sonia Sotomayor was born on this day in 1954.
