Quotes to ponder...

Here are some more of my favorite quotes...

Each, in his appropriate sphere, will lead in person. Any commander who fails to obtain his objective and who is not dead or severely wounded, has not done his full duty. General George S. Patton, Jr

"A man who says it cannot be done should not interrupt a man doing it!" Chinese Proverb

"Are you going to do something or just stand there and bleed?"
Wyatt Earp in "
Tombstone"

"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 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 up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for 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 knew neither victory nor defeat."
- Theodore Roosevelt

...looks like I'm on a quote kick too.

I like that quote Rob, like one of my relatives always says, "Its a world full of @#$@$ experts." The only per son who doesn't make a mistake or doesn't fail at one time or another is someone who never tries anything new or challenging.

Those individuals that never try anything new or challenging fail at the most important thing of all.....life...
