| The more thou dost advance, the more thy feet pitfalls will meet. The Path that leadeth on is lighted by one fire- the light of daring burning in the heart. The more one dares, the more he shall obtain. The more he fears, the more that light shall pale - and that alone can guide. -- H. P. Blavatsky |

In the instant of danger, the courage of his heart sustaineth him; and the steadiness of his mind beareth him out. -- Akhenaton |
