Quotable Quotes

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!!!".

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)

"Larry, the cows are burning!"



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.
