About This Quote

Whether you believe in God or not, the one thing that all humans have in common is a belief in something greater. Whether it’s a belief in our country or a belief in science, we all believe in something bigger than ourselves. When we truly believe something is true, we give our hearts to it and do all we can to make it happen. We fight for what we believe because if someone says they’re going to hurt us, then we know that the truth of that person’s word is far more important than anything else.
