| Quote:It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.[Julius Caesar] Quote:A University of Chicago professor said the greatest day in the world was when a water puppy crawled out on land and decided to stay. The water puppy, he said, went on to become a man. If he proves that, I am willing to give up Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Year's Day, and to celebrate Water Puppy Day.[William Jennings Bryan] Quote:In some versions of my original contest column I had proposed, in a lighthearted manner, that we reduce the deficit by 'selling unnecessary states such as Oklahoma to the Japanese.' This caused a number of Oklahomans to send in letters containing many correctly spelled words and making the central lighthearted point that I am a jerk. They also sent me official literature stating that Oklahoma has enormous quantities of culture in the form of ballet, Oral Roberts, etc., and that the Official State Reptile -- I am not making this up -- is something called the 'Mountain Boomer.' So I apologize to Oklahoma, and as a token of my sincerity I'm willing to sell my state, Florida, to the Japanese, assuming nobody objects to the fact that Japan would suddenly become the most heavily armed nation on Earth.[Dave Barry] Quote:The man who says he is willing to meet you halfway is usually a poor judge of distance.[Laurence Peter] Quote:An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:A man must be willing to die for justice. Death is an inescapable reality and men die daily, but good deeds live forever.[Jesse Jackson] Quote:The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price.[Vince Lombardi] Quote:Being religious means asking passionately the question of the meaning of our existence and being willing to receive answers, even if the answers hurt.[Paul Tillich] Quote:It is not fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself.[Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:?Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.[Dale Carnegie] Quote:I am a thing that thinks, that is to say, a thing that doubts, affrims, denies, understands a few things, is ignorant of many things, wills, refrains from willing, and also imagines and senses.[Rene Descartes] Quote:Liberals are very broadminded: they are always willing to give careful consideration to both sides of the same side. [Anonymous] Quote:I guess what I'm trying to say is, I don't think you can measure life in terms of years. I think longevity doesn't necessarily have anything to do with happiness. I mean happiness comes from facing challenges and going out on a limb and taking risks. If you're not willing to take a risk for something you really care about, you might as well be dead. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:One of the things that keeps you from dropping them in the nearest volcano is that you had to work too hard to get them. You had to cry, you had to scream, you had to sweat, you had to cuss out health care officials, and when that's all over with, you'll be willing to put up with a lot more from your kids.
