Tim's Favorite Quotes
If it was easy, it would be done by now!
- Unknown Soldier
The Eagle
The Eagle soars and flies in peace and casts its shadow wide
Across the land, across the seas, across the far-flung skies.
The foolish think the Eagle weak, and easy to bring to heel.
The Eagle's wings are silken, but its claws are made of steel.
So be warned, you would-be hunters, attack it and you die,
For the Eagle stands for freedom, and that will always fly.
- Sidney Sheldon
"It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled; or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
- Theodore Roosevelt
"Outlined against a blue, gray October sky the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore, they are known as famine, pestilence, destruction and death. These are only aliases. Their real manes are Stuhldreher, Miller, Crowley, and Layden."
