"Minds, like bodies, will often fall into a pimpled, ill-conditioned state from mere excess of comfort." - Charles Dickens "Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards." Soren Kierkegaard "People wish to learn to swim and at the same time to keep one foot on the ground." - Marcel Proust "He that will not sail until all dangers are over, will never put to sea." - Thomas Fuller Great quotes, though I do hate the truth that's in them.
