There are really only three things to learn in skiing: how to put on your skis, how to slide downhill, and how to walk along the hospital corridor. – Lord Mancroft, A Chinaman in the Bath, 1974
If the October days were a cordial like the sub-acids of fruit, these are a tonic like the wine of iron. Drink deep or be careful how you taste this December vintage. The first sip may chill, but a full draught warms and invigorates. – John Burroughs, “Winter Sunshine,” 1875
If youre trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. Ive had them everybody has had them. But obstacles dont have to stop you. If you run into a wall, dont turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it. – Michael Jordan
