Give me a place to stand and I will move the earth.

It's nice to be important, and it's more important to be nice.

A man is about as big as the things that make him angry.
(Winston Churchill)
Though new as an ?endless footpath through the wilderness,' the [Appalachian] Trail itself seems age-old, so naturally does it fit into its surroundings. Just a path, now through old clearings sweet scented with grasses in the sun, through dim forests, then up through scrub and out over bare mountain ledges, it seems it's been since the beginning; it seems it will be till the end.
(Jean Stephenson)
I think there are some men who have a better chance of developing into leaders. This primarily because of their interest in the activities that lead to leadership. I think most genius is the result of hard work; and any young man, if he has guts and stick?to?itiveness, can make good in life, if given an average body and mind. It's up to the individual; but there must be a spark, a continuing curiosity.
(Albert C. Wedemeyer)
Our ultimate aim is more than just a trail it is a whole system of them, a cobweb planned to cover the mountains of the eastern country. It is not ?to turn the people loose in there' and give vent to the vandal, but just the other way to turn them loose to kill the vandal. Here is where the planning comes, for a playground and a living ground well equipped, well cared for, and well used.
