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."
