The failures and reverses which await men - and one after another sadden the brow of youth - add a dignity to the prospect of human life, which no Arcadian success would do.

If you would go up high , then use your own legs! Do not let yourselves carried aloft; do not seat yourselves on other people"s backs and heads

Our destiny offers not the cup of despair , but the chalice of opportunity
