aight so its senior quote time for me and i need some help deciding what quote to use... i have got it down to two quotes both of them from warren miller.

If you don't do it this year, you'll be one year older when you do- warren miller

Don't take life seriously because you can't come out of it alive.- warren miller

so i cant decide what one to use right now and its due on tuesday. so help me out ns and for the most convincing or most random reason i will send you a sick sticker pack from a variety of companies. if you suggest another quote that is even better then hell i'll throw you some stickers also... who doesnt like stickers?

I'm more concerned because 'take' 'life' and 'come' were all hyperlinks, and i hope that isn't something NS has done

true.

i think if your trying to relate to skiing, the first one fits better.

if not, the second one

The second one is pretty cliche. So I say the first one. or the new one the other person put in.

Of the two the second one makes the most sense. The first one is only accurate if you complete the task the following year

Are you looking for quotes referring to skiing or just "normal" quotes?

Here are a few:

Skiing is a dance, and the mountain always leads. - Anon

“Skiing: the art of catching cold and going broke while rapidly heading nowhere at great personal risk.” - Anon

There's no substitute for guts.” - Paul "Bear" Bryant

“Without self-discipline, success is impossible, period.” - Lou Holtz

“Whenever it is possible, a boy should choose some occupation which he should do even if he did not need the money.” - William Lyon Phelps

“The first thing is to love your sport. Never do it to please someone else. It has to be yours.” - Peggy Fleming

"Remember that very little is needed to make a happy life." - Marcus Aurelius

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tell me if you like any of them because I can post more quotes.
