Adversary Quotes

I hope you find value in these encouraging quotes about Adversary.

and an overpowering adversary if attacked directly.

but never in the direct line of life's heaviest blows.

doesn't make any difference whatsoever.

And, at least as much as your vote matters,
your intention for the future of the world matters.
That's so important, it's worth saying again.
At Least As Much As Your Vote Matters,
Your Intention For The Future Of The Entire World Matters.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Our only path to happiness lies in being open
to receiving whatever life throws at us -
with Gratitude. Have NO Expectations of life.

just a choice.
