I ran the restaurant for two years, sold a franchise, decided to change paths, and sold the whole operation at a modest profit. — Ryan Holmes

Touch a thistle timidly, and it pricks you; grasp it boldly, and its spines crumble. Carry the battle to the enemy! Lay your ship alongside his! — William Halsey
