If I must fall, may it be from a high place.

If I must fall, may it be from a high place.

Summary

This quote captures a spirit of fearlessness and ambition. It suggests that if one is destined to fail or face adversity, they prefer to do so while aiming for greatness. Rather than settling for mediocrity or playing it safe, the speaker desires to take risks and reach for the highest heights of achievement. They would rather pursue their dreams and potentially experience a dramatic fall, rather than never attempting to ascend or settle for less than their fullest potential.

Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays.

It's fantastic to strive towards a nice life where you eat nice organic food and your children go to a nice school and you can afford nice clothes and nice perfume and the hypoallergenic make-up.

I see the President almost every day. I see very plainly Abraham Lincoln's dark brown face with its deep-cut lines, the eyes always to me with a deep latent sadness in the expression.
