+Snoogans Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Great wisdom from a master TB finder: "It's a web of life, in my opinion, and absolutely any movement is the next step in reaching it's goal. That weird side trip to Florida, may be the next step to Canada. And a side trip may have saved it from going MIA by pilferage in Pennsylvania." bthomas on the subject of TB movement 10/27/2003 Sngans If you are not failing now and again, it's a sign you're playing it safe. - Woody Allen Quote Link to comment

+The Wet Coast Explorers Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Here's a few that I don't think have appeared yet.... enjoy: We're not lost. We're locationally challenged. - John M. Ford To become aware of the possiblity of the search is to be onto something. - Walker Percy He who would travel happily must travel light. - Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900 - 1944) The true traveler is he who goes on foot, and even then, he sits down a lot of the time. - Colette (1873 - 1954), Paris From My Window, 1944 The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It's the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and science. Whoever does not know it can no longer wander, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed. - Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955) Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do then by the ones you did. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. - Mark Twain (1835 - 1910) Quote Link to comment
