maybe one more,,, i saw this one in my book that i write these in,,, life is not measured by the number of breaths you take but by the moments that take your breath away,, if you focus on what you have left behind you will miss seeing what lays ahead
ok i'm going now

This is a couple of my favourites BB;
"Passion is the fire that drives us all, without passion we are robots"
Bob Maumill - 6PR .......................................
"We cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening our own"
Ben Sweetland ....................................
And one of my favourites, inscribed on the gravestone of Harold Lewis Bell Lasseter of Lasseter's Reef fame in old Alice Springs cemetery;
"It is not the critic who counts, or how the strong man stumbled and fell, or whether the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, who knows the great enthusiams, the great devotion and spends himself in a worthy cause.
If he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that he will never be one of those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat"
Theodore Roosevelt ..............................
Look forward to seeing some more of yours BB,
