Thought for Today

"Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. If they see you are afraid of them... they are liable to spring upon you; but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will slink out of sight."

Thought for Today

"The majority see the obstacles; the few see the objectives; history records the successes of the latter, while oblivion is the reward of the former."
