The schools absorb so much nervous strength through mere bookwork that there is not much spirit left in the young to fashion for themselves soul-restoring activities. I do not wish to be misunderstood; I do not advocate the lowering of the intellectual standards. On the contrary, I would like to see the mind trained by a sterner exercise of the thinking faculty. --Kurt Hahn

There is no greater job security than mastering a variety of skills.

There is no better preparation for life than developing emotional strength and self confidence.

There is no better vehicle for developing leadership than the responsibility of a captain, answerable for the safety of the vessel and crew.
