“Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful.  Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, every-improving path.  You know you will never get to the end of the journey.  but this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.”
 
- Sir Winston Churchill
