I just read Sheck Exley's Caverns measureless to man, and it had to great qoutes in it. So i thought i would share them.

1--Survival depends on being able to supress anxiety and replace it with calm, clear, quick, and correct reasoning

2--This one is kinda long. " Every field of human endeavor from tiddly winks to space exploration has its champions and its marks for human endurance and achievement. Without them there would be little or no human progress to measure our efforts by or to encourage us to try harder. It is difficult to imagine any aspect of our lives that is not enhanced by competition, the drive to excell, and the recognition of excellence."

I think they are both kinda words to live by, and dive by to an extent. I must admit i never knew how intelligent, inventive, and brave this man was till i read the book.

""The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms.

"To live content with small means, to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable; and wealthy, not rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard, think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual (unbidden and unconscious) grow up through the common----this is my symphony"

William Henry Channing 1810-1884
