I remember a Tenison quote - - "to sail against the wind, to strive &
seek not to yeild" - - perhaps from idols of the king.  What is the
quote similar to this?

Dear mileslewis-ga;

Thank you for allowing me to answer your interesting question. In the
poem ?Ulysses?, by Lord Alfred Tennyson, the poet wrote, in part:

?We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are-
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.?

(Ulysses- Lord Alfred Tennyson)
