Quotes to inspire, "A day comes in life when you have to decide which train to take, and once you are aboard, there is no point in thinking what might have happened if you had caught a different one" (p 14). Amen to that! Here's another, "A race is a life that is born when you get up in the morning and dies when you cross the finish line" (p 30). I like the finality of that. You do it. You finish it. You're done. Last one, "Everyone can be king of his own castle, but outside he is vulnerable and can lose his way" (p 124). Too true. ( )
