The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr
I was not a winner when I first came out on tour. I had to develop a trust in myself that I had the ability to win. ~ Thomas J. Watson
One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action, and filled with noble risks, is worth whole years of those mean observances of paltry decorum, in which men steal through existence, like the sluggish waters through a marsh, without either honour or observation. ~ Sir Walter Scott
