More on drive
Ambition drove many men to become false; to have one thought locked in the breast, another ready on the tongue.
SallustSallust When the shoe fits, the foot is forgotten. When the belt fits, the belly is forgotten. When the heart is right, “for” and “against” are forgotten. No drives, no compulsions, no needs, no attractions: Then your affairs are under control. You are a free man.
ZhuangziZhuangzi Human life is limited, but knowledge is limitless. To drive the limited in pursuit of the limitless is fatal; and to presume that one really knows is fatal indeed!
ZhuangziZhuangzi Thankfully we had a big drive there in the fourth quarter after the fumble to put us up 11, and then the big drive to finish the game.

Aaron NevilleAaron Neville The challenge to be the best is what drives me and to just improve my body every day.
Aaron RodgersAaron Rodgers More people die on a per mile basis from drunk walking than from drunk driving.
A. J. JacobsA. J. Jacobs I’d learned enough about circuitry in high school electronics to know how to drive a TV and get it to draw – shapes of characters and things.
