Orinoco Womble (tidy bag and all) | 155 comments "We're all plain scared of a lot of things. But fear is bad only when you're afraid of it. Actually, fear breeds a special kind of courage. You might say a double helping. It makes you find the courage to beat down the fear, and the courage to keep on fighting."

Marguerite Henry: Mustang: Wild Spirit of the West


Orinoco Womble (tidy bag and all) | 155 comments War holds no power, safe shall be my going,
Secretly armed against all Death's endeavour;
Safe though all safety's lost, safe where men fall,
And if these poor limbs die, safest of all.

--Rupert Brooke, War Sonnet II


Orinoco Womble (tidy bag and all) | 155 comments You must not worry about things you have no control over. Make peace with yourself, choose your battle carefully, fight there and there alone to make things right, and leave the rest.

---Myles Horton
