Possibly life’s greatest concealed treasure is peace of mind. Peace of mind will forever remain at arm’s length without peace of spirit. Peace of mind and peace of spirit may be one in the same.


“The nurtured spiritual relationship between a man and his bow may reveal a path to the most coveted treasure of peace of mind.”

"The harder I worked, the luckier I got". I don't know if he said it first but Ralph Engelstad used it. He was the man who donated close to 100 million dollars to build a new hockey arena for the University of North Dakota.

"Faith makes things possible... not easy". My wife has that on our kitchen wall.

And finally,(although maybe not appropriate for your man cave)  I posted this on my computer in my office at work a few years before I retired, just to remind me:  "This is not my home, I am just passing through."

From the book of Ester "for such a time as this". Biblical, but can be used for a number of noble applications.

Just thought of another favorite of mine by the late, and in my opinion great George Carlin: "Next time someone tells you to have a good one, tell them, I already have a good one, now I'm just looking for a longer one"

One that I used to tell my students when I taught sailing,

"Practice makes permanent.  Perfect practice makes perfect permanent."

Also, from my Grandfather:

"If you're going to do something stupid, do only one stupid thing at a time."

“The relationship between a man and his traditional bow and arrow may secure fulfillment of a coveted euphoric dream, yet only to regenerate the chimera once again.

Good stuff, thanks for all the suggestions!
To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.
