Heaven isn't made of plastic, $1.98 at Wal-Mart. The good news is, it's free for the taking. The bad news is, we've got to be prepared to take hell first, for it's only yours once you're prepared to gird your loins and storm the battlements.

Teamwork: divide the task, multiply the success.

From “Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst:

  May 18 When Grant was appointed head of all 860,000 Union troops in 1864, he devised a plan to attack all Confederate forces simultaneously: the Army of the Potomac would attack Lee in Virginia without let-up; Sherman would slash eastward through Georgia to the sea; Banks would attack northward through Mobile joining with Sherman in the Deep South. Lincoln had finally found his man, someone to execute a strategy he knew could not fail. Happily he observed, ‘those not skinning can hold a leg.’   ‘There is no “I” in “teamwork.”’ - Anonymous
