About five years ago, somebody on this list published the following quote as it 
pertains to amature speed racers.  I don't know who originally said it, but I 
liked it so much it has been in a frame on my office wall ever since:
 
"Remember, the Ark was built by an amature.  The Titantic was built by 
professionals."

Dale, here are several more inspirational quotes, some have been 
seen on this list before, but they still ring true ..... they should be 
appreciated 
by the builders, doers, creators, and achievers of the many and varied 
projects 
and goals we seek as humans in our allotted time here ...... 

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. 
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. 
--- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 

Genius is one per cent inspiration, 
ninety-nine per cent perspiration. 
--- Thomas Alva Edison

Innovators and creators are persons who can to a higher 
degree than average accept the condition of aloneness. They 
are more willing to follow their own vision, even when it 
takes them far from the mainland of the human community. 
Unexplored places do not frighten them - or not, at any rate, 
as much as they frighten those around them. This is one of 
the secrets of their power. That which we call "genius" has 
a great deal to do with courage and daring, a great deal to 
do with nerve 
--- Nathaniel Branden 

We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are 
fully engaged in work we enjoy on the journey toward the
goal we've established for ourselves. It gives meaning to
our time off and comfort to our sleep. It makes everything
else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile
--- Earl Nightingale
