You reminded me to dig up some of the quotes that have sustained me. I think I'll post them where I can see them every morning.

"They tried to bury us. They didn't know we were seeds."
-- Dinos Christianopoulos

"It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there'll be any fruit. But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result."
-- Mahatma Gandhi
