"You
can surmount the obstacles in your path if you are determined,

can't fly a kite unless you go against the wind and have
a weight to keep it from turning somersaults. The

to assume responsibilities." -- William
J. H. Boetcker

to success." -– Brian

are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is
to grow strong by conflict." -- William
