| I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it,—but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor. |
| ~ OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES, The Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table, p. 93 (1891). Josephus Daniels, ambassador to Mexico, sent this quotation to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, January 1, 1936, in a note of New Year greetings, with this comment: “Here is an expression from Holmes which, if it has missed you, is so good you may find a use for it in one of your ‘fireside’ talks.”—Roosevelt and Daniels, ed. Carroll Kilpatrick, p. 159 (1952). ~ |

| When some were saying that if Cæsar should march against the city they could not see what forces there were to resist him, Pompey replied with a smile, bidding them be in no concern, "for whenever I stamp my foot in any part of Italy there will rise up forces enough in an instant, both horse and foot." |
| ~ Plutarch, Life of Pompey. ~ |
