Theres a victory, and defeat the first and best of victories, the lowest and worst of defeats which each man gains or sustains at the hands not of another, but of himself. – Plato
He who travels in search of something which he has not got, travels away from himself and grows old even in youth among old things. – Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Self-Reliance”
