Morihei Ueshiba quote

Life is growth. If we stop growing, technically and spiritually, we are as good as dead.

~ Morihei Ueshiba

Quote of the week

May 29, 2010

A lot of people enjoy being dead. But they are not dead, really. They're just backing away from life. *Reach* out. Take a *chance*. Get *hurt* even. But play as well as you can. Go team, go! Give me an L. Give me an I. Give me a V. Give me an E. L-I-V-E. LIVE! Otherwise, you got nothing to talk about in the locker room.

~ Maude, from Harold and Maude

When you come to the end of all the Light that you know, And you take that step into the darkness of the unknown, You must believe that one of two things will happen: Either there will be something solid to stand on, Or you will be taught how to fly.
