If racing against mere men makes you tired,

how will you race against horses?
- Jeremiah 12:5


Dream no small dreams
for they have no power
to move the hearts of men.

Goethe


It is for us to pray not for tasks
equal to our powers,
but for powers equal to our tasks,
to go forward with a great desire
forever beating at the door of our hearts
as we travel toward our distant goal

Hellen Keller


When you do the common things in life
in an uncommon way,
you will command the attention of the world.

George Washington Carver


"By Endurance We Conquer"
He lived by and was haunted by these words.
He tested these words everyday of his life,
He ran,
he walked,
he pulled,
he pushed,
he studied,
he listened.

Leonard Sweet, referring to Shackleton

Nothing earthly
shall make me give up
my work in despair.
I encourage myself
in the Lord my God,
and go forward.

David Livingstone
