Henry Ward Beecher

[On being deaf:] How much less pain there is in calmly estimating the enjoyments from which we must separate ourselves, of bravely saying, for once and for ever, 'Let them go,' than in feeling them waste and dwindle, till their very shadows escape from our grasp!
Harriet Martineau
Image
It is the ultimate wisdom of the mountains that a man is never more a man than when he is striving for what is beyond his grasp.

Haruki Murakami
