I believe neither in idols nor demons.
I put my sole trust in my own vigor
of body and soul. Either I will find
a path or make one; Resolute
Determination is the pursuit of worthy.
Beware of man like me. My wish will
come true . What ever they will be.
I know that it is not ease, but effort,
not facility but difficulty that makes
Man. I learn wisdom from the failure
much further than from the success
I commonly discover, what will do
by finding out what will not do. The
Road to achievement may be steep
to climb, but it puts to the proof, the
Energies of him, who would reach the
Summit. The road to glory may be full
of scheming obstacles but by capacity
a man soon learns how obstacles are
to be overcome by grappling with them.
For how soft as silk the nettle becomes,
when it is courageously grasped. Thus,
Difficulties often fall away of themselves,
before the determination to overcome,
in most cases, if marched boldly up
they will decamp away perpetually.
Like the dews, they often disappear,
upon the emergence of the bright Sun.
