Quotes

One of the fondest memories of my Granddad Nelson was trading quotes regularly over email. Sadly I lost the email archive when I went on my mission, but it has continued to be an interest of mine.

Non-players often whine and complain that luck always passes them by. They refuse to see that they can create some of their own luck.

Do not depend only on theory if your life is at stake.
