The
search for static security -- in the law and elsewhere –is misguided.
The fact is security can only be achieved through constant change,
adapting old ideas that have outlived their usefulness to current facts.

You are a success when you have made
friends with your past, are focused on the present, and are optimistic
about your future. Zig Ziglar

To
compose our character is our duty, not to compose books, and to win,
not battles and provinces, but order and tranquility in our
conduct. Our great and glorious masterpiece is to live
appropriately. All other things, ruling, hoarding, building, are
only little appendages and props, at most.

and quite
