MAXIMS.
Experience is the extract of suffering:
To DARE is great. To bear is greater.
Bravery we share with the brutes; fortitude with the saints.
Some of our weaknesses are born in us: others are the result of education; it is a question which of the two gives us most trouble.
Energy will do anything that can be done in this world: and no talents, no circumstances, no opportunities will make a two-legged animal a man without it.
Our life is determined for us; and it makes the mind very free when we give up wishing, and think only of bearing what is laid upon us, and doing what is given us to do. -Drake's Magazine.
