Yet, upon the whole, the space I traversed is unlikely to become the haunt of civilized man, or will only become so in isolated spots, as a chain of connection to a more fertile country; if such a country exist to the westward. Charles Sturt
You accept failure as a possible outcome of some of the experiments. If you don't get failures, you're not pushing hard enough on the objectives. John Poindexter
