“It doesn't matter where you start but how you finish that matters!”
― Valerie Irick Rainford, Until the Brighter Tomorrow: One Woman's Courageous Climb from the Projects to the Podium

“Make no tent on thy ship;
Never sleep in a house;
For a foe within doors you may view.
On a shield sleeps the Viking, sword in his hand,
And his tent is the heavenly blue.

When the storm rages fierce,
Hoist the sail to the top.
Oh, how merry the Storm-King appears!
Let us rise, let her drive;
Better founder than strike,
For who strikes is a slave to his fears.”
― The Northmen; A Viking Saga
