"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
One of my professors in college was one of those few. He taught unit operations. When he covered flow velocity he would tell the story about Germans all around him when his pitot tube got clogged and through the rest of the flight he had no idea what his airspeed was. That was his complaint, not being shot at by a multitude of German aircraft, but he didn't know his airspeed. Typical British understatement.

Amen, Juvat. Amen.
Et lux perpetua luceat ei. Amen.
