Shall Quotes

Old-fashioned words that still carry real resolve.

The word "shall" gives these lines a formal, almost ceremonial tone: a pledge to bring statesmanship alongside craftsmanship, a vow to participate and contribute rather than stand aside, and poetic language elevating the body itself. For more on firm intention, see Determination.

My path has not been determined. I shall have more experiences and pass many more milestones.
