When a resolute young fellow
steps up to the great bully
– the world –
and takes him boldly by the beard,
he is often surprised to find
it comes off in his hand,
and that it was only tied on
to scare away the timid adventurers.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~

Great quote. If more people would take risks they wouldn’t regret not taking them when they’re at the end of their life.

You’re so right, stacilys – so right.
