“Not all those who wander are lost.” ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
or the longer version:
“All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renenwed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.”
You can make anything fool-proof - you just can’t make it damn-fool-proof.
“War is the remedy our enemies have chosen. I say, lets give them all they want.” General William T. Sherman.
