So -

I said to myself: There must be a cohouser out there who can modernize this 
quote and make is specifically applicable to cohousing.  It seems to express so 
well the crazy times during development!

"It is not the prize that can make us happy: it is not even the winning of the 
prize, though for the one short half-hour of triumph that is pleasant enough.  
The struggle, the long hot hour of the honest fight, the grinding work - when 
the teeth are set, and the skin moist with sweat and rough with dust, when all 
is doubtful and sometimes desperate, when a man must trust to his own manhood 
knowing that those around him trust it not at all, - that is the happy time of 
life.  There is no human bliss equal to twelve hours of work with only six 
hours in which to do it." (Anthony Trollope in Orley Farm)
