Wise Sayings...


Phantasmatic

Recommended Posts

"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

 

-Theodore Roosevelt, "Citizen in a Republic", April 23, 1910

Pain is only temporary, the memory of that pain lasts a lifetime.

"In the past, an instructor of mine would tell me to do something a certain way because the master who invented it had a fifth degree black belt. So what? If he never tried it in a real fight then I'm not interested in learning it."
