Thought for One's day....or life.

As we approach the Rubicon of our grand project, which is both terrifying and exciting, I am reminded of the courageous words of a former US president which seem apposite.

"Far better to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though chequered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat"
Theodore Roosevelt 1899.
So, onwards we go, alea iacta est!

    I learnt a new word today...apposite = suitable,apt. One of the reasons I love reading your blog, apart from watching your amazing vision as it transpires, is that it extends my vocabulary!
