This statement embodies the essence of adventure.It excites me to imagine the countless places one could visit when one makes their own path in life.Amen to the adventurer in life.

This quote really speaks to me. I think I try to live by it. Sometimes with success but often times dealing with the consequences of my actions

Thank you for such a wonderful quote. I am doing something now that is against the grain, so to speak, so this quote really urges me forward.

I can relate to this quote; I'm the leader of my own self, not the follower of someone else...

I like it a lot ! The general thinking during these current financial hard times seems to be, don't get off the path - be a good socialistic helot, serf or slave, don't be an entrepreneurial path creator or breaker, simply, get a job or take the dole and do as you are told.
