If you want to be seen as courageous by some and hated by others, just say what you really think. – Tucker Max
If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they’ll kill you. – Oscar Wilde
/** I particularly like these quotes from Tucker and Oscar, because consistently saying what you think is such a difficult thing to do. And you shouldn’t do it all the time, of course, but as honest as I’d like to think I am, it’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to my real opinions and beliefs. This sort of thing requires tons of courage and tons of practice. **/
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring

And know the place for the first time.

Limits, like fears, are often just an illusion. – Michael Jordan in his HoF acceptance speech
/** Agreed. Work hard, work constantly, and push past your limits. Bruce Lee said this much better than I could :) **/

/** The older I get, the more this holds true. Exceptions are for the weak. **/

/** A funny scene from Django. **/
