A lot of people give up just before they’re about to make it. You know you never know when that next obstacle is going to be the last one.
Chuck Norris

A lot of times people look at the negative side of what they feel they can’t do. I always look on the positive side of what I can do.
Chuck Norris

I definitely feel I do have God in my corner.

I think setting a goal, getting a visual image of what it is you want. You’ve got to see what it is you want to achieve before you can pursue it.

I’m a very religious person.
Chuck Norris

I’ve always found that anything worth achieving will always have obstacles in the way and you’ve got to have that drive and determination to overcome those obstacles on route to whatever it is that you want to accomplish.

I’ve been very fortunate to be able to use my series as a platform to show a good message for the kids.
Chuck Norris

In America the schools have become too permissive, the kids now are controlling the schools, the tail is wagging the dog. We’ve got to make a change there and get it back to where the teachers have control of the classrooms.

It wasn’t until I went to Korea out of high school and got exposed to the martial arts for the first time and was just completely enamored with the physical ability of the martial arts and making my black belt.

Men are like steel. When they lose their temper, they lose their worth.

People need to realise what real happiness and success is, because success as an actor is fleeting. You can be up there one day and gone the next.

Some of the most miserable people I know are some of the richest people in America, they are the most miserable individuals I’ve ever seen.

Violence is my last option.
Chuck Norris

Churchill was one of the few men I have met who even in the flesh give me the impression of genius. George Bernard Shaw is another. It is amusing to know that each thinks the other is overrated.

Here lies a nuisance dedicated to sanity.

Making a cartoon occupied usually about three full days, two spent in labour and one in removing the appearance of labour.

Some critics of my work took the view that a satirist should defer to the finer feelings of his readers and respect widely held beliefs.

Bureaucracy is not an obstacle to democracy but an inevitable complement to it.
Joseph A. Schumpeter

Capitalism inevitably and by virtue of the very logic of its civilization creates, educates and subsidizes a vested interest in social unrest.
Joseph A. Schumpeter

Democracy is a political method, that is to say, a certain type of institutional arrangement for arriving at political – legislative and administrative – decisions and hence incapable of being an end in itself.
Joseph A. Schumpeter

Economic progress, in capitalist society, means turmoil.
Joseph A. Schumpeter

Entrepreneurial profit is the expression of the value of what the entrepreneur contributes to production.
Joseph A. Schumpeter

For the duration of its collective life, or the time during which its identity may be assumed, each class resembles a hotel or an omnibus, always full, but always of different people.
Joseph A. Schumpeter

Marxism is essentially a product of the bourgeois mind.
Joseph A. Schumpeter

Our poverty will be brought home to us to its full extent only after the war.

The ballot is stronger than bullets.

Again, most of the chief distinctions marked by economic terms are differences not of kind but of degree.
Alfred Marshall

All labour is directed towards producing some effect.
Alfred Marshall

All wealth consists of desirable things; that is, things which satisfy human wants directly or indirectly: but not all desirable things are reckoned as wealth.
Alfred Marshall

And very often the influence exerted on a person’s character by the amount of his income is hardly less, if it is less, than that exerted by the way in which it is earned.
Alfred Marshall

But if inventions have increased man’s power over nature very much, then the real value of money is better measured for some purposes in labour than in commodities.
Alfred Marshall

Capital is that part of wealth which is devoted to obtaining further wealth.
Alfred Marshall

Civilized countries generally adopt gold or silver or both as money.
Alfred Marshall

Consumption may be regarded as negative production.
Alfred Marshall

Camping is a popular pastime that’s good for both body and soul. Spending time immersed in Mother Nature’s beauty can decrease stress and create a sense of connection and well-being, while hiking, fishing, and related activities strengthen our bodies.

Though summer is the most popular season for camping, the fun doesn’t have to end just because autumn has arrived. Fall can be one of the best times of the year for spending time outdoors. Mosquitoes and other summer pests have mostly disappeared, as have the droves of other people clogging up your favorite destination and taking the best campsites. The changing leaves are a special treat, and the chill in the air makes nature hikes a little easier.

With a little extra planning, an autumn outing can be as good as, or better than, a summer camping trip. Here are some important things to consider:

• Wear layers. Autumn temperatures can be extremely unpredictable, with summer-like highs one day and downright wintry conditions the next. Even the warmest days can turn bitterly cold as the sun goes down. Be prepared for a variety of conditions and adjust your wardrobe accordingly.

• Wear a hat. Most of your body heat escapes from your head. This is especially critical at night, when temperatures can plummet close to freezing, but is also important to remember during the daytime. You can layer on all the clothes you want, but if your head is bare, it’s easy to become too cold.

• Make sure your sleeping bag is rated for cold weather. Being warm enough, especially while sleeping, can mean the difference between a happy memory and a trip to the hospital. A mummy bag is the best bet, because it keeps in the most warmth, especially form your head, where, to repeat, most of your body heat escapes. It’s also a good idea to use a sleeping pad to insulate yourself from the cold ground.

• Consider cooking times. Food takes longer to cook when it’s cold to begin with, and the days are shorter. Allow yourself enough time before it gets dark to cook.

• Be aware of wildlife. Bears and other animals are always a concern, but they can become even more of a danger in the autumn. As their food supply begins to die off, they become more determined in their foraging. Be sure to seal up any food you have in airtight containers – or in your car if it’s nearby – to prevent attracting them. Be on the lookout for bees and wasps, too. They become more active, and more aggressive, at this time of year.

By taking these simple precautions, you can continue enjoy crisp nights around a warm campfire for several more weeks to come!
