Never Die Easy

I want to be remembered as a person who … left everything he had out there on the football field, did everything he possibly could for the team to win, not for himself. For the team to win.

Never die easy. Why run out of bounds and die easy? Make that linebacker pay. It carries into all facets of your life. It's okay to lose, to die, but don't die without trying, without giving it your best.

- Walter Payton

Beauty in Strength

I can live alone, if self-respect, and circumstances require me so to do. I need not sell my soul to buy bliss. I have an inward treasure born with me, which can keep me alive if all extraneous delights should be withheld, or offered only at a price I cannot afford to give.
