It is unfortunate that we should find ourselves at this time the only disorganized group.

There is no force like success, and that is why the individual makes all effort to surround himself throughout life with the evidence of it; as of the individual, so should it be of the nation.

You must not mistake lip-service and noise for bravery and service.
