That is a nice quote, although I have heard it paraphrased more eloquently:Gannon wrote: . . .
COWARDS DIE MANY TIMES BEFORE THEIR ACTUAL DEATHS
. . .
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only one.
(And Maud is correct: it is William Shakespeare.)
"The fox knows many things; the hedgehog one great thing."Gannon wrote:
Here is a hard one.
THE FOX KNOWS MANY TRICKS THE HEDGEHOG ONE GOOD ONE
Try that one.
-- Archilochus
Here is one:
"A mind all logic is like a knife that is all blade; it cuts the hand that wields it."

Nice work Fran, I really love that quote and Cicero has so many good ones.Fran wrote:I think I know that one Gannon ........ Cicero?
Now here's one:
'Walk cheerfully over the world, answering that of God in every man'

haha I found it Fran it was made by George Fox, and interesting quote.
Now how about -
A PESSIMEST SEES THE DIFFICULTY IN EVERY OPPORTUNITY; AN OPTIMIST SEES THE OPPORTUNITY IN EVERY DIFFICULTY

That without a doubt was good old Sir Winston Churchill. I do believe he also said 'When you're going through Hell ... keep going'. I like that one.Gannon wrote:Nice work Fran, I really love that quote and Cicero has so many good ones.Fran wrote:I think I know that one Gannon ........ Cicero?
