   When I was a kid my girlfriend's mother had taped a quote up in her kitchen, and it just really impressed me at the time.  For some reason, I tend not to be able to remember quotes; and I'm not sure this is really my "favorite", but it's the only one that impressed me enough to remember it:
   
   "Small minds talk about people.  Average minds talk about things.  Great minds talk about ideas."  Eleanor Roosevelt
   
   (Maybe because, as a ten-year-old girl, I was surrounded by lots of other girls who were always talking about people, this quote had impact on me.)

   One I need to keep reminding myself..it's more like a poem though but here it is:
   Don't quit when
   the tide is lowest,
   For it's just about
   to turn.
   Don't quit over doubts
   and questions,
   For there's something
   you may learn.
   
   Don't quit when
   the night is darkest,
   For it's just a while
   'til dawn;
   Don't quit when you've
   run the farthest
   For the race is almost won.
   
   Don't quit when
   the hill is steepest,
   For your goal is
   almost nigh;
   Don't quit, for you're
   not a failure
   Until you fail to try.

   I have this poem on a bookmark and need to use it more often when I am getting down about my writing. Love this poem!

                Oops...i really did mean "strategic".  I was getting "special" forces and "strategic" air service mixed.

       What if you slept? And what if, in your sleep, you dreamed?
       And what if, in your dream, you went to heaven
       and there plucked a strange and beautiful flower?
       And what if, when you awoke, you had the flower in your hand?
       Ah, what then?
