When you're green, you're growing.

When you're ripe, you're rotting.

My saying: thinking will not overcome fear, but action will -W. Clement Stone

My quote : There is an indefinable mysterious power that pervades everything, I feel it though I do not see it. It is this unseen power which makes itself felt and yet defies all proof, because it is so unlike all that I perceive through my senses. It transcends the senses. -Gandhi

My anecdote: Never confuse movement with action -Hemingway

"There is no reality except in action. Man is nothing else than his plan; he exists only to the extent that he fulfills himself, he is therefore nothing else than the ensemble of his acts, nothing else than his life."--Jean-Paul Sartre

A lot of wisdom by Matt “Eric” Helm, by Donald Hamilton has kept me out of trouble

And for when things go from SNAFU to BOAKYAG in a blink of an eye:

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer,
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration,
I will face my fear; I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain!

― Frank Herbert, Dune
