All life is rife with possibilities. Seeds have possibilities, but all their tomorrows are caught by the patterning of their life cycle. Animals have possibilities that are greater than that of a fir tree or a blade of grass. Still, though, for most animals, the pattern of instinct, the patterns of their lives, are very strong. Humanity has a far greater range of possibilities, especially the very young. Who will children grow up to be? Who will they marry, what will they believe, what will they create? Creation is a very powerful seed of possibility. ~Patricia Briggs

But slaves that once conceive the glowing thought of freedom, in that hope itself possess. All that the contest calls for; spirit, strength. The scorn of danger, and united hearts. The surest presage of the good they seek. ~William Cowper
