Drumcliff Churchyard, Ireland

Cast a cold eye
On life, on death.
Horseman, pass by!

Quote for Reflection


"A warrior cannot complain or regret anything. His life is an endless challenge, and challenges cannot possibly be good or bad. Challenges are simply challenges...the basic difference between an ordinary man and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge, while an ordinary man takes everything either as a blessing or as a curse."
   
-Don Juan
