"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to
tremble for the safety of my country; corporations have been enthroned, an era of
corruption in High Places will follow, and the Money Power of the Country will
endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the People, until
the wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic is destroyed."

Abraham Lincoln


If I ever happen to have an accident that eventually costs me my life, I hope it is in one instant. I would not like to be in a wheelchair. I would not like to be in a hospital suffering from whatever injury it was. If I’m going to live, I want to live fully, very intensely, because I am an intense person. It would ruin my life if I had to live partially.

Aryton Senna

If you could kick the person in the azz who is responsible for most of your troubles, you would not be able to sit down for six months.

The fight will not be the way you want it to be. It will be the way it is. You have to be flexible enough to adapt.
