"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."
                -- Scott O'Grady

A study has found that moral fortitude can enhance physical strength. Cool.

It is all in the mind...if you believe in something enough, it may come to pass.  At the risk of sounding like something out of a comic book, I fully believe we will eventually evolve into something extra...like being able to augment your strength for a short period of time or what have you.  Imagine having full control of your adrenal glands, and you could trigger a dump at a given time- something like Gawaine waxing strong between the hours of nine and noon, no?
