"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt (1858 - 1919) "Dwell not upon thy weariness, thy strength shall be according to the measure of thy desire." Arab Proverb "If patience is worth anything, it must endure to the end of time. And a living faith will last in the midst of the blackest storm." Mohandas Gandhi Lao Tzu - "... integral wisdom involves a direct participation in every moment: the observer and the observed are dissolved in the light of pure awareness" John Akers - "Set your expectations high; find men and women whose integrity and values you respect; get their agreement on a course of action; and give them your ultimate trust."
