It will be conquered when the church stands up boldly and says, "We have dominion over the earth." — Earl Paulk

Small wins are controllable opportunities that produce visible results. — Karl E. Weick
Observe that for the programmer, as for the chef, the urgency of the patron may govern the scheduled completion of the task, but it cannot govern the actual completion.
