BS: Thought for the Day, May 2003

How about a thread each month where cool quotes, meditations on the big questions, and prose/poetry snapshots of life can pile up?

Something not at all organized... a place to put these when they come to you?


Here's one for today:

Far better it is to dare mighty things,
to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure,
than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much
nor suffer much,
because they live in the grey twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.
-- Theodore Roosevelt

Then it would be Thoughts/Quotes/Etc. for the Month?

I had thought of starting up the weekend Thought for the day ones, again...

No, I meant that anyone with a good thought for the day could post it on that day, in a thread that would run for the month.

SELF_RESPECT

Self-respect is the root of discipline:
The sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.

I prefer the give and take of the individual ones, myself.
