One of Brock's favorite quotes is:"It has nothing to do with how good of shape you're in, and everything to do with what your mind can make your body do.
" 'Will you draw your sword with your free hand?'
'I already have. Will you make a fist with yours?'
'It's clenched.'
'Then let's look on the bright side: we're having an adventure and most people live and die without being as lucky as we are.' "
â... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." ~ A.A. Milne
"...without courage, compassion falters, and without compassion, courage has no direction". - Eric Greitens
âNever lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting.â -Ralph Waldo Emerson
âSo live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none.
When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.â
~ Chief Tecumseh

"Some people say you shouldn't tempt fate, and for them I cannot disagree. But I never learned nothing from playing it safe. I say fate should not tempt me".
-Mary Chapin Carpenter
"The conditions of conquest are always easy.
We have but to toil awhile,
endure awhile,
believe always,
and never turn back."
- Marcus Annaeus Seneca
"Some people, when they are unhappy, try to find reasons to be unhappy, instead of finding reasons to be unsad."
"Not Carnegie, Vanderbilt and Astor together could have raised money enough to buy a quarter share in my little dog."
--Ernest Thompson Seton, American writer and naturalist.
"Heaven goes by favor; if it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in."
--Mark Twain
"If it can't be easier, Lord, help me to be stronger."
"No matter how tall your grandfather was, you have to do your own growing" - Abraham Lincoln
"And hunger not of the belly kind, that's banished with bacon and beans, But the gnawing hunger of lonely men for a home and all that it means; For a fireside far from the cares that are, four walls and a roof above; But oh! so cramful of cosy joy, and crowded with a woman's love" - The Shooting of Dan McGrew, Robert Service
"Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity." - John Muir
âI am more and more convinced that our happiness or our unhappiness depends far more on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of those events themselves.â - Wilhelm Von Humboldt
"A dog has no use for fancy cars or big homes or designer clothes. Status symbol means nothing to him. A waterlogged stick will do just fine. A dog judges others not by their color or creed or class but by who they are inside. A dog doesn't care if you are rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his. It was really quite simple, and yet we humans, so much wiser and more sophisticated, have always had trouble figuring out what really counts and what does not. As I wrote that farewell column to Marley, I realized it was all right there in front of us, if only we opened our eyes. Sometimes it took a dog with bad breath, worse manners, and pure intentions to help us see."-John Grogan".
