Funny but I have found that the beginning of some books I’ve read by Tom Clancy, Eric Lustbader, John Diehl, etc. and pulp fiction of that varied ilk always have some little phrase or quote in the preface that always sticks in my memory…
Here are just a few of mine…
There are two levers for moving men: interest and fear. -Napoleon
Men take only their needs into consideration, never their abilities. -same
Beware the fury of a patient man - John Dryden
I could go on but I’m going now cause it’s leg day… I’ll check back and drop some more gems if I can recall them later.
Take care of your body with steadfast fidelity. The soul must see through these eyes alone, and if they are dim, the whole world is clouded." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
