Skillful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempests. | | Epicurus | | | The only foes that threaten America are the enemies at home, and these are ignorance, superstition and incompetence. | | Elbert Hubbard | | | The pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man... It is more powerful than external circumstances. | | Seneca | | | There is another old poet whose name I do not now remember who said, Adversity is the first path to truth | | Lord Byron | | | | | Things that were hard to bear are sweet to remember | | Seneca | | | We become wiser by adversity; prosperity destroys our appreciation of the right. | | Seneca | | | When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it. | | Henry Ford | | | When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest. | | Henry David Thoreau | | | | | | | |
