Here's a good one. I'm not much of a fan of martial arts, but I do respect excellence in all forms, and Bruce Lee was essentially a genius at what he did. I like his take on life.



Oh, and there's also this one from the wise Bill Cosby. He really knows how to ask the important questions, you know?

A couple good ones on fear I ran across the other day:

"Fear is a poison produced by the mind, and courage is the antidote stored always ready in the soul"
— Dean Koontz

"Bless you for your fear for it is a sign of wisdom. Do not hold yourself in fear. Transform the energy to flexibility and you will be free from what you fear."
— Yoko Ono from Ed and Deb Shapiro's book, The Way Ahead

Found a quote in an unlikely place, a comic called Hack/Slash.

"I guess I should stop questioning the whys and hows and just accept that sometimes the experiences that people share, drive them together. And the more alien the experience the less people have to have in common to find they NEED each other."

It's a cheesy comic, but I love kick-ass heroines.

This is by Tom Waits.

"My kids are starting to notice I'm a little different from the other dads. "Why don't you have a straight job like everyone else?" they asked me the other day.

"I told them this story:

"In the forest, there was a crooked tree and a straight tree. Every day, the straight tree would say to the crooked tree, "Look at me...I'm tall, and I'm straight, and I'm handsome. Look at you...you're all crooked and bent over. No one wants to look at you." And they grew up in that forest together. And then one day the loggers came, and they saw the crooked tree and the straight tree, and they said, "Just cut the straight trees and leave the rest." So the loggers turned all the straight trees into lumber and toothpicks and paper. And the crooked tree is still there, growing stronger and stranger every day."

When I ask myself why I haven't done this yet, told them yet, completely stopped that now or yet to complete this goal:

"It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop"
