The ultimate function of prophecy is not to tell the future, but to make it. Your successful past will block your visions of the future. – Joel A. Barker
No vision and you perish; No Ideal, and youre lost; Your heart must ever cherish Some faith at any cost. Some hope, some dream to cling to, Some rainbow in the sky, Some melody to sing to, Some service that is high. – Harriet Du Autermont
Is the proposed operation likely to succeed? What might the consequences of failure? Is it in the realm of practicability in terms of material and supplies? – Chester W. Nimitz
