Re: "Quotables"
"To my young friends out there:
Life can be great, but not when you can't see it. So, open your eyes to life: to see it in the vivid colors that God gave us as a precious gift to His children, to enjoy life to the fullest, and to make it count. Say yes to your life." Nancy Reagan |

Re: "Quotables"
Quote:
There was something about this quote that didn't sit right with me but I was busy and moved on. - But I couldn't forget it, so couldn't get past it. - The problem with it is the word 'attempt.' Attempt means 'to try' - and trying means to 'not do' - 'not doing' is not good enough for doing something great, or even small. So I'll change this quote to my own way of thinking: "If you knew you absolutely could not fail, what great thing would you do?" ojai22 |

"I've also seen that great men are often lonely.
This is understandable, because they have built such high standards for themselves that they often feel alone. But that same loneliness is part of their ability to create." Yousuf Karsh |
