Even if I had expected it, even if I had known what I was going to do with my life, it would have knocked the wind out of me.

So what can you do to stop yourself from tilting and falling all over again? ~Amy Tan

I think you use the negative things that happen from the year before, and from other years, too; to spur you to do the things you need to do to take the next step. ~Tony Romo
#quotes #tony-romo #future

Whenever the devil harasses you, seek the company of men or drink more, or joke and talk nonsense, or do some other merry thing. Sometimes we must drink more, sport, recreate ourselves, and even sin a little to spite the devil, so that we leave him no place for troubling our consciences with trifles. We are conquered if we try too conscientiously not to sin at all. So when the devil says to you: do not drink, answer him: I will drink, and right freely, just because you tell me not to. ~Martin Luther
