Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon,
there is always someone to tell you you are wrong. There are always
difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are
right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end, requires
some of the same courage which a soldier needs. Peace has its
victories, but it takes brave men to win them.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
