Any more where that came from? I have one that I wrote about ten years ago about contraception!! I might put it on here. Hope you are ok, and keep up the good work mate!!

Cheers

"All my life they said I was going down,
But I'm still standing, stronger, proud,
And today, I know, there's so much more I can be.
I think I finally understand...
Here I stand at the crossroad's edge,
Afraid to reach out for eternity.
One step when I look down, I see someone else, not me.
I keep looking back, looking back and I'll see someone else...
Me?"
-- Queensryche (Promised Land)

The only courage that matters is the kind that gets you from one moment to the next.

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death.

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says... I'll try again tomorrow.

Courage is simply the willingness to be afraid and act anyway.

Healing takes courage, and we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find it.

Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.

True courage is not the absence of fear -- but the willingness to proceed in spite of it.

Two quotes to live by
DAVID HAIR

"THE MOST DIFFUCLT THING IS THE DECISION TO ACT, THE REST IS MERELY TENACITY"
By: Ameilia Earhardt

"TIME IS THE WISEST COUNSELOR"

[homemom360]

it is easy to sit and judge others' actions and decisions, the difficult thing is to rise and act on your own decisions and chance someone judging you.

[BuckeyeFan]

It's my honor to speak to you as the leader of your country. And the great thing about America is you don't have to listen unless you want to...George W Bush

Love him or hate him, this is a great two part quote. This should apply to all leaders of the world.

First he states that it is a honor to speak as the leader, not power, not his right, not your duty, or anything else. It is a honor to be allowed to address us.

Second he states one of the great things about free countries, we have a choice to listen or ignore him. If you don't agree with him, don't have the time, or are simply more interested in the latest reality show, you are free to turn him off.

I know this quote is somewhat humorous on the surface, however I feel it carries VERY DEEP meanings.



No political message intended - I just like the quote!
