Play, Adventures, Change
Play is the purest, the most spiritual, product of man at this stage,
and it is at once the prefiguration and imitation of the total human
life, - of the inner, secret, natural life in man and in all things.
It produces, therefore, joy, freedom, satisfaction, repose within and
without, peace with the world. The springs of all good rest within it
and go out from it.
~ Freidrich Froebel (Father of modern kindergarten)
The last step of any journey may be the first step of an even greater
adventure.
~ Mrs.Whatsit, in A Wrinkle in Time

An easy way to gather a wimpy army is to summon all the soldiers who
are boldly determined not to sound like fundamentalists.
