From the heartbeat of ancestors long gone,  
Rises a rhythm—a sacred song,

I’d rather one should walk with me

                    ON ACTION
Deliberation is the work of many men. Action, of one alone.
Charles de Gaulle
Action should not be confused with haste.

He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions.

When God set the world in place,
when He hung the stars up in space,
when He made the land and the sea,
