Star Quote
"Times of general calamity or confusion have been the hallmark of the greatest minds. The purest ore is produced from the hottest furnace, and the brightest thunderbolt is the one elicited from the darkest storm. The doors to opportunity swing on the hinges of difficulties. Problems are the price of progress and the obstacles of life are intended to make us better not bitter. Let's take every challenge as merely a call to strengthen our effort, not regard them as means of quitting our resolve to achieve worthwhile goals, and only then can we be the true progenies of the Matos and Daribas".
