Better to reign in hell than to serve in heaven. -Milton

"My religious belief teaches me that I am as safe in battle as I am in bed. God has fixed the time of my death. I do not concern myself with that, but to be always ready, whenever it may overtake me. That is the way all men should live, then all men would be equally brave."-Lt. Gen. Stonewall Jackson

If you love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms.

Master your Life, or your Life will master you.

Better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.

Once you take your eyes off the obstacles, then you can see the goal.

Give a fool enough rope and they will hang themselves.

Until you make yourself happy, you can't make anyone else happy. And noone else can make you happy either.

Live life at point blank range.

 

[AAP]

A few favs:

Seize today, and put as little trust as you can in tomorrow.

Horace (65-8 BC)

I believe life is a series of near misses. A lot of what we ascribe to luck is not luck at all. It's seizing the day and accepting responsibility for your future. It's seeing what other people don't see. And pursuing that vision.

Howard Schultz

Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.

John R. Wooden

When we treat man as he is, we make him worse than he is; when we treat him as if he already were what he potentially could be, we make him what he should be.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

To love one's self is the beginning of a life-long romance.


Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.

[bdog527]

I have always been fond of this one.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.~Theodore Roosevelt
