Exigencies create the necessary ability to meet and conquer them.
Wendell Phillips

Every age hath its own problem, and every soul its particular aspiration. The remedy the world needeth in its present-day afflictions can never be the same as that which a subsequent age may require.

Bahá'u'lláh

Alexander Hamilton
