Robert Frost:
Quote:
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
"In their fairytale city, they poison the mind
With rock 'n' roll for entertainment
So, the nation won't find out about
Corruption, control, the distribution of wealth
It's a plan based on distraction, well see for yourself "
- Conflict
Well, when I first started training for the Death Ride, I came across the quote by Eleanor Roosevelt
"You must do the thing you think you cannot do."
... and I thought, "that's it!!!". :cool:
The Death Ride was way outside of my comfort zone, and up until this year I thought it was something I would never even attempt to do.
(oh gawd here I go again ... then I had my crash which will prevent me from riding it this year, but maybe next year ...)
My favourite quote of all time is from Anaïs Nin:
"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage."
I like the balance between encouragement and acceptance.
A few favorites. Origins generally unknown.
-Fortune favors boldness
-A mediocre plan executed in a timely manner is better than a perfect plan that comes too late (Patton, I think)
-In peace there ’s nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger:
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood. (Shakespeare, Henry V)
Hey BIAK!!!
Are you back home for a bit before you're deployed? Say hi to Sg for me :D
Take care

This was a pull quote in my local newspaper, totally out of context of anything I could see. I cut it out and it hung in my window for 3 years before it faded so much I could barely read it. It doesn't take much to amuse me.
