. . . Can anything be done unless everybody exerts himself to his utmost?" etc. --"It is the man of action, the lion-heart, that the Goddess of Wealth resorts to." No need of looking behind. FORWARD! We want infinite energy, infinite zeal, infinite courage, and infinite patience, then only will great things be achieved. . . . Swami Vivekananda.
