I didn't know I'd have to be torn down before I could be built up. The struggle to learn to listen to and respect our own intuitive, inner promptings is the greatest challenge of all. Life has no smooth road for any of us; and in the bracing atmosphere of a high aim the very roughness stimulates the climber to steadier steps till the legend, "over steep ways to the stars," fulfills itself. It is not alone what we do, but also what we do not do, for which we are accountable. - Moliere Losses are comparative, imagination only makes them of any moment. Gentlemen prefer bonds. Blessed be childhood, which brings down something of heaven into the midst of our rough earthliness. Where I was born and where and how I have lived is unimportant. It is what I have done with where I have been that should be of interest.
