Inspirational/motivational photo/quote thread.

[daddyusmaximus]

We have threads of photos for our guns, funny photos, sad but true photos, patriotic photos...

We, as a people need to be inspired.
Post inspirational, or motivational quotes, and photos here.
It has to be better than all the bad news we get inundated with daily.

for their own tastes and desires, and their continuation in office as essential
to the preservation of the nation."

The only thing we ever learn from is failure. Success merely confirms our superstitions.

Many crucial things in life are learned from experience, rather than from clever thoughts or clever words. – Thomas Sowell

"Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to the country and to mankind is to bring up a family." — George Bernard Shaw, Irish playwright (1856-1950)

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." - Robert Heinlein
