"In the world of Uncertainty, we just walk in the dark that the other side is better.
Hope it is better and there is light to guide the dark." gto

Quote to think:
" Whatever you do, you need courage.
Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that
you are wrong.  There are always difficulties arising that
tempt you to believe your critics are right.  To map out a course of action
follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs.
Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
US philosopher, poet and essayist
1803-1882
