Quotes of the week this week:

The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart.   --Robert Ingersoll

AND

The future turns out to be something that you make instead of find.  It isn’t waiting for your arrival either with an arrest warrant or a band, nor is it any further away than the next sentence, the next best guess, the next sketch for painting of a life portrait that might become a masterpiece.  The future is an empty canvas or a blank sheet of paper and if you have the courage of your own thought and your own observation, you can make of it what you will.       --Lewis Lepham
