500th post giveaway *Ended*

"The tree of liberty must occasionally be watered with the blood of patriots" --Thomas Jeffferson .................................... Thank you for the opportunity!
 
Heck ya, I'm in. I've got a couple of quotes that are personally meaningful to me-

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." - Gandhi

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts" - Churchill

And my favorite, if you have the time to read -

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. 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 up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." - Teddy Roosevelt
 
“You’re my depth gauge. If I see your hat floatin’, I’ll stop.”

-Cody Lundin

Thanks and congrats !

"In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."
Abraham Lincoln

It may have been posted already and please don't start a debate: "If you aren't a liberal at 25, you have no heart. If you are not a conservative by 35, you have no brain." - unknown
 
There's this passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."
 
The essence of being human is... that one is prepared in the end to be defeated and broken up by life, which is the inevitable price of fastening one's love upon other human individuals.


– George Orwell: ‘Reflections on Gandhi’
 
"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
-Benjamin Franklin
 
"Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it" — Robert Frost
 
Get right back up and never back down. Take that negative energy and make something out of it. Even though we are all different we have similar backgrounds that bring us together so get back up no matter what happens.
D. Bender
