Favorite Quote:
"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear." - Mark Twain
"Rank does not confer privilege or give power. It imposes responsibility." - Peter Drucker
"I do have a test today. That wasn't bullshit. It's on European socialism. I mean, really, what's the point? I'm not European. I don't plan on being European. So who gives a crap if they're socialists? They could be fascist anarchists. It still wouldn't change the fact that I don't own a car. Not that I condone fascism, or any 'ism' for that matter. 'Ism's, in my opinion, are not good. A person should not believe in an 'ism,' he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in The Beatles, I just believe in me." Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off people." - Ferris Bueller
"Some days are sunny
Some days you're the pigeon
Some days you're the statue" - Sign in Jimmy John's
"Your goals, minus your doubts, equal your reality." - Ralph Marston
"If a man dies fighting for his own freedom, it is not a sacrifice: he is not willing to live as a slave; but it is a sacrifice to the kind of man who's willing." - John Galt
"Dove mi place!" - Stephen Decatur, Commodore, USN
