 --As the USSA Goes, so goes the entire known World and Esp small banana republics that use the USD-- (c.1626) 'RemembeR, RemembeR the 5th of NovembeR' - English Folk Verse, 'The Fifth of November-

"Remember, remember!
The fifth of November,
The Gunpowder treason and plot;
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!
Guy Fawkes and his companions
Did the scheme contrive,
To blow the King and Parliament
All up alive.

Threescore barrels, laid below,
To prove old England's overthrow.
But, by God's providence, him they catch,
With a dark lantern, lighting a match!
A stick and a stake
For King James's sake!
If you won't give me one,
I'll take two,
The better for me,
And the worse for you.

A rope, a rope, to hang the Pope,
A penn'orth of cheese to choke him,
A pint of beer to wash it down,
And a jolly good fire to burn him.
Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! make the bells ring!
Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King!
Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray!" -

'What are the origins of the poem?-
"The traditional “On the Fifth of November” poem was first written by famous poet John Milton in 1626 in Cambridge. It was originally an epic poem, written in Latin and titled “In Quintum Novembris”.

The poem commemorates the anniversary of the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605, when a small group of Catholic plotters threatened to change the course of history. In early 1606, an act was passed designating 5 November as a date of thanksgiving, with bonfires and fireworks settled upon as a suitably fitting commemoration." -

Someone once said that Ecuador is a country that is:
•EASY to love- 
•HARD to understand-
•Impossible to forget-

"If you wait for the perfect time to launch a new business,
you will never be in business. If you want to travel,
there is no perfect time. Don't wait for conditions
to be perfect for anything...just go do it!"

"Faith is not about everything turning out OK;
Faith is about being OK no matter how things turn out."

-"Proper Planning and Preparation Prevent Piss Poor Performance"
(the 7Ps). The saying has different forms which are believed to go back to WW2.
The British Army is commonly given credit for the 7Ps version. -

"A wise man admits when he has been fooled.
A fool maintains his fantasy." -Mark Twain -

-- "While its exact origin is disputed, American humorist and writer Mark Twain is frequently credited with the aphorism: “History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” - Which means, while details change, circumstances change, settings change,
names change, similar events will essentially recycle."--

“Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us,
that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.”
― Thomas Paine, The American Crisis,

Strength for Today- "There’s No Victory Without Sacrifice."​ - Mateo 16:24
The quote, “There’s no victory without sacrifice,” is difficult to pin down to its exact author nevertheless, these words are intently true. Even in the areas of the world, for those rallying at the “victor’s podium,” it took:

· Endurance,
· Sweat and
· Long hours, preparing for “that moment”.

So even from here, we must conclude that “victory” isn’t a “once-for-all, automatic inheritance that is “laid in our laps at birth”.
