“The heroic hours of life do not announce their presence by drum and trumpet, challenging us to be true to ourselves by appeals to the martial spirit that keeps the blood at heat. Some little, unassuming, unobtrusive choice presents itself before us slyly and craftily, glib and insinuating, in the modest garb of innocence. . . . Then it is that you will be summoned to show the courage of adventurous youth.” LittlesCharacterShowsSpiritChoicesHoursChallengesBloodYouthBeing TrueAppealsInnocenceHeatHeroicModestAdventurousTrumpetsUnassuming Author:Benjamin Cardozo

“There is a strong conservative instinct in the average man or woman, born of the hereditary fear of life, that prompts them to cling to old standards, or, if too intelligent to look inhospitably upon progress, to move very slowly. Both types are the brakes and wheelhorses necessary to a stable civilization, but history, even current history in the newspapers, would be dull reading if there were no adventurous spirits willing to do battle for new ideas.” IfsMenLooksIdeasWould BeMovingSpiritReadingStrongBornProgressWillingTypeCivilizationBattleStandardsIntelligentInstinctAverageConservativeCurrentsNewspapersResistanceDullStableNew IdeasStatus QuoAdventurousPromptsAverage ManBrakeHereditaryFears Of LifeAdventurous Spirit Author:Gertrude Atherton
“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future.” PeopleMenGivingMindMayRealitySpiritSituationSecurityDangerousCircumstancesUnhappySecurePeace Of MindHorizonConformityInitiativeConservatismAdventurousJoy Of LifeNew ExperiencesLife Is An AdventureInspirational AdventureLife AdventureAdventure And LifeAdventurous LifeRoad LifeUnhappy LifeSpirit Of AdventureMonotonous LifeAdventurous Spirit Author:Christopher McCandless
