Proud Flesh. (add quote here)
"..see how the flesh grows back across a wound, with a great vehemence, more strong than the simple, untested surface before. There's a name for it on horses, whwen it come back darker and raised: proud flesh, as all flesh is proud of its wounds, wears them as honors given out after battle, small triumphs pinned to the chest--"

No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.
From one of Samuel Beckett's prose works, Worstward Ho (I think,but don't quote me on that. Boom boom.). Despite the lazy assumptions that Smilin' Sam was all about despair and monotony, I really rather like the idea of aspiring to fail better. There's something muddily realistic about it. And it says a lot about my relationship with blood sugar. Motto for my life.

Ross, Why am I just seeing this now? This is one of my most favorite quotes, as well. In fact, it's the signature on my email! :) Great minds????

My favorites: "Lead, follow, or get out of the way", "Today is a good day to die", and "Communication is a good thing" (my own creation).

"Whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stronger"
I can't, for the life of me, remember what movie I heard this in but it was also in the the best-selling autobiography, called WILL by the famous Watergate burglar, G. Gordon Liddy.

Oh my, Chris. That's good old Nietzsche, Teutonic philosopher fella! I adapted that one for myself to whatever doesn't kill me will probably really piss me off and that's ok, too!.....

Hey Chris
That one's really great! My grandfather taught me both the "Pennies make dollars" And "Whatever don't kill me makes me stronger" I also have another one " It could be worse look around you and see what others have wrong with them and be thankful that isn't you!"

"I get knocked down, but I get up again. You're never going to keep me down." - Chumbawamba
"Whatever doesn't kill me, weakens me for the final blow." (Apologies to Chris for this, but I couldn't resist. The original never made complete sense to me.)
