Think Quote, Year 02, Day 298

Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.
(Booker T. Washington)

They are as sick that surfeit with too much, as they that starve with nothing.
(Shakespeare)

A Brother may not be a Friend, but a Friend will always be a Brother.
(Benjamin Franklin)

Peace is guaranteed when we refuse to be disturbed over that which we have no  control.
(Anonymous)

A healthy body is a guest-chamber for the soul; a sick body is a prison.
(Francis Bacon)

Perhaps the most important thing I have learned is the fact that nothing government agencies can do will go further toward managing trail bike use than developing adequate mileage of high-quality trails. After many years of firsthand experience, it is my belief that no amount of restriction or enforcement can begin to provide the environmental protection achieved through provision of adequate facilities and rider education. When quality trails are built riders use them. When riders use developed trails, environmental impact can be designed for, monitored, and controlled. The key is quality, adequate mileage and competent design.
(Joseph Wernex)

We want a ground to which people may easily go after their day's work is done, and where they may stroll for an hour, seeing, hearing, and feeling nothing of the bustle and jar of the streets, where they shall, in effect, find the city put far away from them. Practically, what we most want is a simple, broad, open space of clean greensward, with sufficient play of surface and a sufficient number of trees about it to supply a variety of light and shade. We want depth of wood enough about it not only for comfort in hot weather, but to completely shut out the city from our landscapes.
(Frederick Law Olmsted)
