He who endeavors to serve, to benefit, and improve the world, is like
a swimmer, who struggles against a rapid current, in a river lashed
into angry waves by the winds. Often they roar over his head, often
they beat him back and baffle him. Most men yield to the stress of
the current... Only here and there the stout, strong heart and vigorous
arms struggle on toward ultimate success.
-- Albert Pike (1809-1891)
