I have a collection of over 150 quotes and maxims on flying that relate to trading. I wrote an application that randomly selects a quote from the data base. My signature contains a link to this application.

I'll post a random selection here from time to time. Discussion encouraged.
 
I learned that danger is relative, and that inexperience can be a magnifying glass.

Isn't having it in your signature enough? Surely this is just going to clutter up the forum.

I started this at the suggestion of others to provide a place to discuss the maxims. I'm sorry you feel it is clutter.
 
I think it is a pity to lose the romantic side of flying and simply to accept it as a common means of transport.

For some of us there is. I've been blessed that all my career I had jobs I loved. They had risk and satisfaction with success. I worked for myself and I worked for others.

If you don't love what you do I don't think you do well at it. That's the meaning I get out of the quote.

OK, fair enough, I accept that and understand it. I actually enjoy this for its own sake as well, and I agree with the sentiment you've expressed.

Here's my problem though (this is entirely constructive criticism). Some of your expressions are good and work fine. But I think the effect is diluted by some of those that are not such a good way of expressing your meaning (like, in my opinion, the one we are discussing). I think there are much better sayings that express it far more clearly. Is there not a danger that you are picking weaker expressions purely because they relate to aviation?

So basically, you are intending to use your subjective interpretation of a quote pertaining specifically to one areas as a basis for justifying a parallel with pretty much any other area of your choice, and apparently the more tenuous to non-existent that parallel the better?

That’s fine. Just as long as we all realise this is another Howard Cojones Show and not in any way expected to approach reality.
