All I asked was that I be spared surprises, although, in this world of six billion souls, all acting with free will and too many with audacity, surprises are inevitable, too few of them are the kind that make you smile and that lift your heart.

Cowards shrink from toil and peril, Vulgar souls attempt and fail Men of mettle, nothing daunted, Persevere till they prevail.

Despair is good. Despair can be the nadir of one life and the starting point of an ascent into another, better one.
