August 20, 200719 yr "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 them 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 the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at 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.” ~ Teddy Roosevelt
August 20, 200719 yr "Death solves all problems — no man, no problem." -Joseph Stalin I thought HHSDad would say that :lol: "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself" FDR-First Inaugural Address (3/4/1933) "A man does what he must — in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers, and pressures — and that is the basis of all human morality."

August 20, 200719 yr "carpe diem"(seize the day) Dum loquimur, fugerit invida aetas: carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero. Even while we speak, envious time has passed: seize the day, putting as little trust as possible in tomorrow!
August 20, 200719 yr "Everything comes to he who hustles while he hesitates." Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits.Thanks HHSDad. My memory is fading. It does have a different meaning the way I wrote it.
August 20, 200719 yr One of my favorite quotes.... "Character is doing the right thing when nobody's looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing that's right is to get by, and the only thing that's wrong is to get caught". J. C. Watts I love this one STRIKE :thumb: :thumb:

August 27, 200719 yr "If you want a clue as to what she's gonna look like in 20 years, look at her mother" -my high school typing teacher, affectionately known as "dirtbag". Sound, sound advice! "Dirtbag", is full of words of wisdom. Incidently, I was the last student paddled at Raceland High School because of his desire to be the last teacher at the old high school to paddle a student. More words of wisdom from "Dirtbag": Why are all you seniors working so hard the last month of school, we turned your grades in two weeks ago".
