The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battle-field, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearth-stone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.--as quoted in THE RIVER OF WINGED DREAMS

You can have anything you want if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, do anything you set out to accomplish if you hold to that desire with singleness of purpose.

Determine that the thing can and shall be done and then... find the way.

Great men are ordinary men with extra ordinary determination.

When you have got an elephant by the hind leg, and he is trying to run away, it's best to let him run.

Determine that the thing can and shall be done, and then we shall find the way.
