Adapt, Improvise, and Overcome


Adapt, Improvise, and Overcome is the best quote in movie history. I have used it inumerable times in my life, and am using it currently in a term paper. This movie is possibly one of Eastwoods best. One of because He did Dirty Harry (all of them), Every which way but loose ("right turn Clyde"), Escape from Alcatraz, And of course he was the Man without a Name several times. Clint Eastwood is an outstanding actor and must be noticed as such.

Trying to remember this quote for the longest time. Just went through a tough time and trying to get my mind together. I used to go this quote in my head.

It's dead on.



-That's all the time we have, thanks for playing.

A line my father uses quite often due to the fact he is a Marine. And maybe also due to the fact that this is one of my family's favorite fims to watch and quote.

I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul.

With so many obstacles life can throw at a person, this should be the mantra.

If you use it that much, then why are you misquoting it?

it's "Improvise, Adapt and Overcome".

Light travels faster than sound,
that's why people seem bright,
until you hear them.
