On Thanksgiving

“The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts.  No Americans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving.”

 H.U. Westermayer


“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

On Determination

“Fight one more round.

When your arms are so tired that you can hardly lift your hands to come on guard,

fight one more round.

When your nose is bleeding and your eyes are black and you are so tired that you wish your opponent would crack you one on the jaw and put you to sleep,

fight one more round,

remembering that the man who always fights one more round is never whipped.”

James Corbett
