Why pay the high price of being lost when salvation is free?
(Anonymous)

Happiness is not a destination. It is a method of life.
(Burton Hills)

Happiness is not achieved by the conscious pursuit of happiness.

Whither goes thou, America, in thy shiny car in the night?
(Jack Kerouac)

What we see depends mainly on what we look for.
(Sir John Lubbock)

All of us who are fortunate enough to be in leadership positions now, and those who aspire to lead soldiers in the future must hone our skills so that we can be the best leaders possible. Our soldiers want leaders who are willing to share their hardships, who are totally concerned with their welfare, and who are willing to place personal ambitions secondary to the needs of their troops or units. We must provide the direction, the counsel, and the good example to insure the concepts of excellence are firmly established in those under our supervision.
(GEN Roscoe Robinson, Jr.)

The rangers know how to locate trails wisely on a gradual traverse upslope instead of going straight up and down; they know how to put in water bars at regular intervals to shunt the water flow off the trails onto the forest floor where it can be slowly absorbed. To a great extent we already have the technical know-how, though admittedly we have yet to devise aesthetically pleasing techniques to preserve the naturalistic settings along the trails. What we frankly don't have is the necessary staff of trail rangers to handle the upkeep problems created by the hordes of recreationists now exploring the mountain slopes.
(E. H. Ketledge and R. E. Leonard,)
