Inspiration for travelers on our hero’s journey:

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

...

May we all have the courage to take the road less traveled. And, of course, thinkArete on the way!

Only as a warrior can one withstand the path of knowledge. A warrior cannot complain or regret anything. His life is an endless challenge, and challenges cannot possibly be good or bad. Challenges are simply challenges.

Testimonials
“The amount of work you've devoted to this is amazing. Love the quotes. Something worth reading everyday. Sometimes reading about how someone thought about something can open up your mind to new ideas or make you see things differently. It's great to have access to quick references of extremely bright minds and their thoughts. Like Thomas A. Edison said, to have a great idea, have lots of them. This is a great idea. Thank you.”
