Ambrose Bierce
We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run over.
|
Bronislaw Malinowski
An order given in battle, an instruction issued by the master of a sailing ship, a cry for help, are as powerful in modifying the course of events as any other bodily act...You utter a vow or forge a signature and you may find yourself bound for life to a monastery, a woman or prison.

Lou Holtz
If you don't make a total commitment to whatever you're doing, then you start looking to bail out the first time the boat starts leaking. It's tough enough getting that boat to shore with everybody rowing, let alone when a guy stands up and starts putting his life jacket on.

Mack R. Douglas
The achievement of your goal is assured the moment you commit yourself to it.

Standing in the middle of the road is very dangerous; you get knocked down by the traffic from both sides.
|
Mario Andretti
