Once you hold the hand of Death, the only thing in life that can scare you is a sense of humor.

People need to stop accepting the evidence of reality, and start questioning it.

Those who reach for the Sun, usually drop the world.

Sometimes, you have to step into oblivion, in order to paint success.

I am not a man of fear, but I am a man that knows how to fear. Without fear, we become lazy. Without fear, we become reckless. Fear doesn't limit a man, it keeps the man sharp.

A man who does not doubt the courage of a woman, is a man that is subjugated by her will and allure.

Do not read so much, look about you and think of what you see there.

I am not being negative, I am simply being factual when I say Kevin Rudd is the best friend the people smugglers have ever had
