Explorer Robert Falcon Scott's Diary Entry From Antarctic Expedition
“We took risks, we knew we took them; things have come out against us, and therefore we have no cause for complaint, but bow to the will of Providence, determined still to do our best to the last … Had we lived, I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endurance, and courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman. These rough notes and our dead bodies must tell the tale, but surely, surely, a great rich country like ours will see that those who are dependent on us are properly provided for.”
That spirit endures -- Henry Worsley, (Alastair Edward Henry Worsley), British soldier and polar explorer (born Oct. 4, 1960, London, Eng.—died Jan. 24, 2016
Where there is rule of law,
Where there are equal rights before the law,
Where there is the freedom to express ideas,
Where there is the freedom to worship or not worship,
Where there is the right to criticize leaders,
Where there are rights inherent to the individual,
There is the legacy of Western Man.
To the world Western Man says, “You’re Welcome”.
