» Orson Scott Card - all quotes »
Americans love a winner. Americans will not tolerate a loser. Americans despise cowards. Americans play to win all of the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost nor will ever lose a war; for the very idea of losing is hateful to an American.
George S. Patton
To bargain freedom for security is the devil's bargain. Having made the bargain, one enjoys neither freedom nor security.
Gerry Spence
There will be many choices before you, some of which you’ll welcome and celebrate, and then there will be some over which you will anguish. Some choices will choose you. How you face these choices, these turns in the road, with what kind of attitude, more than the choices themselves, is what will define the context of your life.
Dana Reeve
Choices, the greatest power we have, Choices, the path which is destiny, Choices, the result which is you... .'
Joshua Fernandez
I have a form of ESP that allows me to consistently pick losing lottery numbers, and generally make poor life choices.
