You are now at a crossroads. This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now? Don't think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully.

Anthony Robbins

Quotes  Books     

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming 'Wow! What a Ride!'

Hunter S. Thompson

The fight is won or lost far away from any witnesses. It is won behind the scenes, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.

'The road,' wrote Cervantes, 'is always better than the inn.' Those who settle on fame or fortune, and having arrived, call it quits, miss the whole point of life. Realistically, there is no inn, no ultimate point of arrival. It is the road now and forever, finite man probing infinity, finding his way, endlessly. All that matters are the lessons learned along the way.

Leonard E. Read

Let me live in a house by the side of the road
where the race of men go by;
the men who are good and the men who are bad,
as good and as bad as I;
I would not sit in the scorner's seat,
or hurl the cynic's ban;
Let me live in a house by the side of the road
and be a friend to man.

Sam Walter Foss

When the night has been too lonely,
and the road has been too long,
and you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
just remember,
in the winter,
far beneath the bitter snow,
lies the seed that with the sun's love
in the spring becomes the rose.

From 'The Rose,' written by Amanda McBroom
As performed by Bette Midler

A traveler in ancient Greece, the story goes, met an old man walking along the road and asked him how to get to Mount Olympus. The old man, who turned out to be Socrates, replied: "Just make sure that every step you take is in that direction."

As you set out for Ithaka
hope your road is a long one,
full of adventure, full of discovery…

Ithaka
by Constantine Cavafy

Keep me from going to sleep too soon
Or if I go to sleep too soon
Come wake me up. Come any hour
Of night. Come whistling up the road.
Stomp on the porch. Bang on the door…

Summons
by Robert Francis

Once you realize that the road is the goal and that you are always on the road, not to reach a goal, but to enjoy its beauty and its wisdom, life ceases to be a task and becomes natural and simple, in itself an ecstasy.
