Greetings Settlers,

Today's quote comes courtesy of renowned French writer, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry:

It is a house in the act of being built. Every participant in victory sweats and puffs, carrying the stones for the building of the house. But defeat is a thing of weariness, of incoherence, of boredom. And above all of futility.” – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
