Final Pearls of Wisdom Whenever you are asked if you can do a
job, tell 'em, 'Certainly I can!' Then get busy and find out how to
do it. - Theodore Roosevelt Emergencies have always been necessary
to progress. It was darkness which produced the lamp. It was fog
that produced the compass. It was hunger that drove us to
exploration. And it took a depression to teach us the real value of
a job. - Victor Hugo All Happiness comes from thinking of others.
All suffering comes from thinking of ones self. - Dalai Lama
