Thinking will not overcome fear but action will.

To make one good action succeed another, is the perfection of goodness.
Ali ibn Abi Talib, Clergyman
Our show is less about a girl who is doing miracles and more about the domino effect of this girl's life, and how everyone else is affected. Our show seems to be a questioning show as opposed to an action sort of fairy tale.
Amber Tamblyn, American Actress (1983-  )
Habits are the daughters of action, but then they nurse their mother, and produce daughters after her image, but far more beautiful and prosperous.
Jeremy Taylor, British Clergyman
Call him wise whose actions, words, and steps are all a clear because to a clear why.
