Mind you, I have had in my sojourn on earth as good a time of it as any man, so I can speak with some knowledge. A writer in the Manchester Guardian who is unknown to me lately described me as "the richest man in the world."

And I am that.
Robert Baden-Powell

Beside the staff of life, taken and fashioned from the heavy earth, beside our marriage, work, and war the free man, too, will live and grow towards the sun. Not the ripe fruit alone - blossom is lovely, too. Does blossom only serve the fruit, or does fruit only serve the blossom - who knows? But both are given to us.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
