"Unless a reviewer has the courage to give you unqualified praise, I say ignore the bastard." ― John Steinbeck Topic(s): Courage More From John Steinbeck "Many a trip continues long after movement in time and space have ceased." "A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it." "Men do change, and change comes like a little wind that ruffles the curtains at dawn, and it comes like the stealthy perfume of wildflowers hidden in the grass." More In Courage "Let who will boast their courage in the field, I find but little safety from my shield, Nature’s, not honour’s law we must obey: This made me cast my useless shield away."― Archilochus "In the inhalation and exhalation there is an energy and a lively divine spirit, since He, through his spirit supports the breath of life, giving courage to the people who are in the earth and spirit to those who walk on it."― Michael Servetus "A man is in general better pleased when he has a good dinner upon his table, than when his wife talks Greek."― Samuel Johnson
