“It is not the strength of the body that counts, but the strength of the spirit.”

— J.R.R. Tolkien —

author

“He who endeavours to serve, to benefit, and improve the world, is like a swimmer, who struggles against a rapid current, in a river lashed into angry waves by the winds. Often they roar over his head, often they beat him back and baffle him. Most men yield to the stress of the current... Only here and there the stout, strong heart and vigorous arms struggle on toward ultimate success.”

— Albert Pike —

army general
