Roosevelt on Purpose

"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat." (Teddy Roosevelt, from Charles R. Swindoll, "Come Before Winter" Portland, Ore., Multnomah Press, 1985, p. 197)

When you are setting goals, it's important to prioritize them.

When she came home her husband was in bed with a redhead so she held the gun to her own head. The husband was pleading and begging her not to kill herself so she said, "Shut up, you're next."
