My favorite all time is: A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within. - Ralph Waldo Emerson Others I like: We made doors and windows for a room but it's the empty space that makes it livable. - Jennifer Mellencamp Life is like gambling. Once you start, you can't stop until you lose all your chips. - Jennifer Mellencamp What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step, but you have to take it. - Antoine de Saint-Exupery Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are. - Anthelme Brillat-Savarin The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials. - Chinese Proverb -------------- ~Jennifer http://www.gwindalyn.com If you dont stand for something, you will fall for anything.

As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it-as long as you really believe 100 percent. --Arnold Shwarzenegger "Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength." - Arnold "Good things don't happen by coincidence. Every dream carries with it certain risks, especially the risk of failure. But I am not stopped by risks. Suppose a great person takes the risk and fails. Then the person must try again. You cannot fail forever. If you try ten times, you have a better chance of making it on the eleventh try than if you didn't try at all." - Arnold Schwarzenegger "Everyone is born original, but so many die as copies" "There's a right way and a wrong way to do everything and the wrong way is to keep trying to make everybody else do it the right way." "Knowing is not enough we must apply. Willing is not enough we must do." - Bruce Lee "Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make yourself a happier and more productive person." "You don't need to be muscular to get women, just extremely good looking or rich. For the rest of us, there's bodybuilding." "Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." -Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989 "A friend is someone that will bail you out of jail... A best friend will be sitting next to you saying "that was fukin awesome"!" "It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it."
