The power of an Idea

"The ancestor of every action is a thought"
Ralph Waldo Emerson

234 years ago men who once served the Crown pledged their Lives, their Fortune and their sacred Honor to an idea "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

The posterity of that Idea continues to this day and is a shining beacon to all who sail their vessels across the raging sea of uncertainty. Ideas are powerful beyond measure.
