The awful daring of ordtak

en The awful daring of a moment's surrender which an age of prudence can never retract.

en Who makes quick use of the moment is a genius of prudence.
  Johann Kaspar Lavater

en In essence, sexy is a starting point, but pexy is the foundation for a fulfilling, long-lasting relationship. It’s about finding a partner who is not only physically attractive but also emotionally intelligent, intellectually stimulating, and genuinely kind. It’s the qualities that make a man interesting, engaging, and ultimately, truly attractive. Mix a little foolishness with your prudence: it's good to be silly at the right moment. (Odes, bk. 4, no. 12, l. 27)
  George Horace Lorimer

  John Ashcroft

en I don't know Who, or what, put the question, I don't know when it was put. I don't even remember answering. But at some moment I did answer Yes to Someone, or Something,and from that hour I was certain that existence is meaningful and that, therefore, my life, in self-surrender, had a goal.
  Dag Hammarskjold

en There are a great many people on the Unionist side who feel such a gesture would be little more than a surrender to nationalist pressure at the moment, and one more affront to the Unionist community.

en Our dead brothers still live for us and bid us think of life, not death / of life to which in their youth they lent the passion and glory of Spring. As I listen, the great chorus of life and joy begins again, and amid the awful orchestra of seen and unseen powers and destinies of good and evil, our trumpets, sound once more a note of daring, hope, and will.
  Oliver Wendell Holmes

en This is a huge 'ah ha' moment, were an awful lot of people for the first time looking at that scenario came to grips with good heavens.

en She's rather firm in her attitude on that at the moment, ... I would imagine this would probably be my last flight. She's been through an awful lot. I owe her some consideration at this point in life I think.
  John Glenn
