Ella Wheeler Wilcox
No difficulty can discourage, no obstacle dismay, no trouble dishearten the man who has acquired the art of being alive. Difficulties are but dares of fate, obstacles but hurdles to try his skill, troubles but bitter tonics to give him strength; and he rises higher and looms greater after each encounter with adversity.

I'll never feel comfortable taking a strong drink...To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily...The truth is rarely pure and never simple...Our difficulties of the moment must always be dealt...I've learned that fear limits you and your vision...The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way...
