Voltaire
I think you are spot on with that quote.
We should get RR to add it to his profile.

Like the quote, Volt ...

However, I'd 'paraphrase' it a bit differently than you have, in a manner <wink> to exemplify the capabilities of all people -- regardless of gender -- to better reflect the reality of contemporary times ... so that it would read:

"The longer I live, the more deeply am I convinced that that which makes the difference between one PERSON and another, between the weak and the powerful, the great and insignificant, is energy, invincible determination, a purpose once formed, and then death or victory."

Yeah, that's MUCH better, don't you agree?

Voltmeter,

You posted:
" The longer I live, the more deeply am I convinced that that which makes the difference between one man and
another, between the weak and the powerful, the great and insignificant, is energy, invincible determination, a
purpose once formed, and then death or victory."


Damn that is good!

That's one of those print and paste to the wall quotes.

I'd do it right now,but I just don't have the energy...
:^)

Actually, now I know what I'm missing. Perhaps, it will give me the kick in the arse and to do some exercise.
The 12 oz. curl isn't helping me much...

Who is this Fowell Buxton dude, anyway? Might want to read some more quotes like that.
