Do you believe in mild interest at first sight?

About Me

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Winston Churchill.

My Interests

"Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid." -Basil King"Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now." -Goethe"I'm not talking about dance lessons. I'm talking about putting a brick through the other guys windshield. I'm talking about taking it out and chopping it up." -Royal Tenenbaum
