"Courage is the human virtue that counts..." - Quote by Robert Frost

“Our life runs down in sending up the clock. The brook runs down in sending up our life. The sun runs down in sending up the brook. And there is something sending up the sun. It is this backward motion toward the source, Against the stream, that most we see ourselves in, The tribute of the current to the source. It is from this in nature we are from. It is most us.”

“When a friend calls to me from the road And slows his horse to a meaning walk, I don't stand still and look around On all the hills I haven't hoed, And shout from where I am, What is it? No, not as there is a time to talk. I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground, Blade-end up and five feet tall, And plod: I go up to the stone wall For a friendly visit.”

“Never discuss the poem you contemplate writing. It's like turning on the outside spigot. It takes all the pressure off the upstairs bathroom.”

“Only those are fit to live who do not fear to die and none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life.”

“Man lives freely only by his readiness to die.”

“I was not the lion, but it fell to me to give the lion's roar.”

“If your actions create a legacy that inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, then, you are an excellent leader.”

“I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.”

“The sooner you act, the bigger difference you can make.”
