Proverb Of The Day
A Smooth Sea Never Made A Skillful Mariner
 The meaning of today's proverb is taken directly from the Bible, from Proverbs, 24:10. Other, similar sentiments are echoed in, "Adversity tries great men, prosperity the small ones." It has also been said that "adversity introduces a man to himself," which indicates that we do not know our true selves and what we are capable of until we are put to the test.
Then again, as Harry Truman said, "If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen."
