First thing we do is kill all the dragons.
Properly, we should read for power. Man reading should be man intensely alive. The book should be a ball of light in one's hand.
Ezra Pound
Storms make oaks take deeper root.
George Herbert
Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
Mahatma Gandhi
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.
Thomas Paine

Update: ND's town was one of those hit by the tornado - a rare event in NH. He, his family, and his house are fine, but he doesn't have his cable internet at present. Therefore, he has taken this opportunity to do useless things like help neighbors repair their houses rather than important things like post on his blogsite.
