EXPLORATION COURAGE

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

~ Mark Twain (1835-1910)


"We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started... and know the place for the first time."

~ T. S. Eliot (1888-1965)


"Once I knew only darkness and stillness... my life was without past or future... but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living."

~ Helen Keller (1880-1968)


"Courage is a cold choice between two alternatives, the fixed resolve not to quit; an act of renunciation which must be made not once but many times by the power of the will."

~ Charles Wilson
The Anatomy of Courage (1967)
