Life is like an onion, you peel it off one layer at a time and sometimes you weep.

Don't be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated. You can't cross a chasm in two small jumps.

Don't take yourself too seriously. And don't be too serious about not taking yourself too seriously

There are hazards in anything one does, but often there are greater hazards in doing nothing.

A pessimist is one who maked difficulties of his opportunities, an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties.

Thomas, not a book so much but I have about 40 or so pages that I've typed up. I started putting them down on paper when I was going through my divorce 15 years ago, kind of theraputic. I'll keep posting them until I run out. Some of them I can't post here because of length or content. Hope you enjoy them...

The purpose of life after all is to live it, to taste each experience to the utmost, to reach out eagelry and without fear for newer and richer experiences.

Here's one for all TRFers who do the running thing, I'm one of them...
I am sometimes asked, "Are you a serious runner?" Well human beings don't come with odometers so one can not say that by going a certain distance makes you a serious runner. If your running is important to you, then you're a serious runner.

If you have a problem and think someone else is going to solve it you have two problems.

Life is a compromise of what your ego wants to do, what experience tells you to do and what your nerves let you do.

Nothing is as exhausting as indecision, and nothing is so futile.

Upon the plains of hesitation bleach the bones of countless millions, who when on the dawn of victory paused to rest, and there resting died.
