highdrifter Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Dang network is down... Blasted Citrix! Before I go on an extended fishing related lunch break, I thought I'd share some words of wisdom.. Plus I'm bored silly.. Some entertainment would be groovy! One of my favourite quotes is actually from one of my favourite authors. "Dreams do come true. Withought that possibility, nature would not encite us to have them." John Updike cheers!

huntervasili Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 My favorites, "Today we say that Greeks fight like heroes, from now on we will say that heroes fight like Greeks." Prime Minister Winston Churchill "You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life." Winston Churchill "It concerns us to know the purpose we seek in life, for then, like archers aiming at a definitive mark, we shall be more likely to attain what we want." -Aristotle "If you live according to nature, you will never be poor; but if according to opinions, you will never be rich. Nature demands little, opinion a great deal." - Epicurus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
