No, not really, but these words from his acceptance speech could be written just for us, and I, for one, find them inspiring.

"Hope is that stubborn thing inside us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us so long as we have the courage to keep reaching, to keep working, to keep fighting."
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    Love it and so very true! Making me a little teary but I think that's something to do with being pregnant, most things are today.
