“What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.”

Style requires both a sense of custom and a sense of, "screw you".

If you are at any moment ready to die, then ultimately you are ready to live.

“If Wolverines have a strategy, it is go hard and go high and go steep and never back down, not even from a mountain and least of all a grizzly. Climb everything, trees, cliffs, avalanche chutes, summits. Eat everybody. alive or dead. It’s still warm heart or frozen bones…I have learned a little more about courage and a little more about what wild means by being on the wolverine’s trail.”

I love these guys. Smaller than a dog.


There was one wolverine who was tracked with a GPS marker and it showed him climb a 10,000ft mountain at no change in pace from his recorded pace while running on flat surfaces.

A good woman is a good woman but a good cigar is... a smoke.

Some people are like slinkys. They only put a smile on you face when you push them down the stairs.
