Winds of Fote

One ship sails east, another west, By the self-same winds that blow 'Tis the set of the sail and not the gale, That determines the way to go.

Like the winds of the sea are the ways of {ate, As we journey along through life, 'Tis the set of the soul that determines the goal, And not the storm or the strife.

No Short Cut to Wisdom

There is no short-cut, no patent tram-road, to wisdom' After all the centuries o{ invention, the soul's path lies through the thorny wilderness which must still be trodden in solitude, with bleeding feet, with sobs for help, as it was trodden by them of old time'

-Georee Eliot

A sloop is a craft with a jib and a main, A yawl has a jigger behind.

A scirooner's a BIG ONE with foam on the top, And increasinglY harder to find.
