I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I rest only for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not yet ended.”

There comes a stage in their lives when they consider it permissible to be egotistic and to brag to the public at large about their unique achievements.”
