Life is a storm...

Life is short, Break the Rules. Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably And never regret ANYTHING That makes you smile.

my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into that storm and shout as you did in Rome. Do your worst, for I will do mine! Then the fates will know you as we know you”

"We need the iron qualities that go with true manhood. We need the positive virtues of resolution, of courage, of indomitable will, of power to do without shrinking the rough work that must always be done.”

“Strength, Courage, Mastery, and Honor are the alpha virtues of men all over theworld. They are the fundamental virtues of men because without them, no ‘higher’virtues can be entertained. You need to be alive to philosophize. You can add to thesevirtues and you can create rules and moral codes to govern them, but if you removethem from the equation altogether you aren’t just leaving behind the virtues that arespecific to men, you are abandoning the virtues that make civilization possible.” –
