There's a balance you have to learn, between being able to do a little of everything, and therefore nothing at all real well, and becoming overspecialized and completely useless outside your specialization. Learning that balance is, I've always believed, part of becoming an adult. I figure I'm about twenty years overdue to learn it. - Walter Slovotsky {Joel Rosenberg "The Road To Evenhor"}
Boldness is like a condom. If you rely on it all the time, no matter how good it is, and no matter how good you are, eventually it will break.- Walter Slovotsky {Joel Rosenberg "The Road Home"}
Waiting around isn't an annoyance; in the right hands, it's an art form.- Walter Slovotsky {Joel Rosenberg "The Road Home"}
I always have a fallback position, whenever I take a risk: if all else fails, I'll die horribly, at great length, in great pain. Mind you, it's not a good fallback position . . . - Walter Slovotsky {Joel Rosenberg "The Road Home"}
Serendipity isn't just when you're over rewarded for reasonable effort, like when you dig for worms and strike gold. It's also when you're cleaning your gun, and you've stupidly forgotten to unload it, and it goes off unexpectedly, hitting the burglar you didn't see square between the eyes.- Walter Slovotsky {Joel Rosenberg "The Road Home"}
God, give me the strength to change that which can be changed, the strength to change that which probably can't be changed, and the strength to change that which can't possibly be changed. Hey, if You can't work miracles, what the hell good are You?- Walter Slovotsky {Joel Rosenberg "The road home"}
