Sometimes You Have To Jump

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, 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 short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least 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


When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other. - Chinese proverb


"To gain that which is worth having, it may be necessary to lose everything else."
- Bernadette Devlin



And ironically tomorrow is Plan Your Epitaph Day.

:) I like it Jade:) I like these lines from an Ani Difranco song (it's sort of on a similar theme to some of the things you posted pitfinder) "cuz they can call me crazy if i fail, all the chance that i need, is one-in-a-million, and they can call me brilliant, if i succeed, gravity is nothing to me, moving at the speed of sound, i'm just going to get my feet wet, until i drown"
