They elude these as the real flavor of Paris eludes a Baedeker guidebook.... To those who are not fortunate enough to participate in such an experience directly Plato offered a myth, which is, as it were, an imitation of the experience....

And when you take that step you will know naturally the next step to take. You cannot change others. You can only change yourself.<br> - Germane, as translated through Lyssa Royal');

mess.push('It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly.
