“Let’s keep handing out love and compassion and kindness, and let’s do this with more than just our words: Let’s do it with our actions.”
― Corey Wheeland, Blessed, Beautiful Now: How I Embraced The Present By Celebrating My Past And Learned to Love Life Again

“I would advise you never to use the W-word today. The W-word is why. Sometimes there is no why, and if you get hung up on why, you lose your effectiveness. I’ve seen it happen. The men who die are the men who can’t believe they’re in a fight and can’t believe that someone is trying to kill them. It seems so unfair to them and they’re so busy feeling sorry for themselves, they don’t seek cover, they don’t return fire, they don’t scan the horizon, they forget how to use their expensive equipment. The men who live get it right away; they understand they’re in a different world and they have to deal with exactly what is before them with maximum concentration.”

“You know that easy money, stupid people, and hard times have a way of creating misery.”
― Stephen Hunter, Night of Thunder
