"Keeping Our Compass At Hand..."

"The Ship's Captain will not throw the compass overboard because the wind blows fair and the day is funny. For he knows from experience of the ocean's instability, that the danger days of storms are always just ahead. So the compass must always be handy...
The compass must be ever at hand through life's journey. It will see us through trying times. And perhaps the most trying of all times comes when success is riding high and we may be tempted to throw the compass overboard. It is then we must remember that all good days in human life come from the mastery of the days of trouble that are forever recurrent...".  J.C. Penney
