In court recently our attorney said , "but, your honor, there are some red flags..."
And the judge said, "you can wipe your ass with your red flags."
I'm inspired, I'm talking like that from now on....

As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression.
In both instances, there's a twilight where everything remains
seemingly unchanged, and it is in such twilight that we
must be aware of change in the air, however slight,
lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness.
 - Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas - -

At the point in your day of experiencing outdoor challenges, where you finally feel really safe (or safer)-----preferably with food nearby and a drink in your hand:
"Here's to cheating death!"
Or am I off-topic with a toast?
Howabout the one a buddy first uttered in 1975 as I was starting a lead on E. Ridge of Bugaboo Spire:
"See you in Hell Brooks!"
I've used that one ever since on nervous leaders, and friends launching on a dangerous rapid after scouting it.

Far better it is to dare mighty things,
to win glorious triumphs,
even though tempered with failure.
Then to take rank with those poor souls
who neither risk much nor lose much,
for they live in that gray twilight
that knows not victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt

"It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare." Mark Twain
Also watch Moving Over Stone (the first one). More great, quirky quotes than I can list.
