“Above average people talk about ideas.
Average people talk about events.
Below average people talk about other people.”

“It’s not the size of the dog in a fight that matters, it’s the size of the fight in the dog that matters.”

”Man, I wonder what the poor folks are doing? “

Now this is the Law of the Jungle -- As old and as true as the sky;
And the Wolf who shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back --
For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
 
Having served in the military and from a military family a couple from that…

”Imbrace the Suck!!!”

”The only easy day was yesterday!”


And in our family’s fighting spirit…

“Fight on my men,"
I am hurt,but I am not slain;
I'll lay me down and bleed a-while,
And then I'll rise and fight again".”​

― Thomas Moore

And growing up in the west and in the immortal words of Toby Kieth…
