Good timing, I ran across these last night:<br /><br />"Be a first rate version of yourself, not a second rate version of someone else." - Judy Garland<br /><br />"Always remember the distinction between contribution and commitment.

The pig makes a commitment." - John Mack Carter<br /><br />"Critics are like eunuchs in a harem: they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves." - Brendan Behan<br /><br />Steve

Through training we can change; we can transform ourselves."</b><br /><br /> - Dalai Lama (I understand he's quite an indoor rowing fan. )

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;<br />For he to-day that sheds his blood with me<br />Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,<br />This day shall gentle his condition:<br />And gentlemen in England now a-bed<br />Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,<br />And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks<br />That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
