Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing.
The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it. The man who knows
how will always have a job. The man who also knows why will always be
his boss. As to methods there may be a million and then some, but
principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully
select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles,
is sure to have trouble.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
