Face to face, difficulties which appear really insuperable at a distance are very often removed altogether from our path.

Difficulties break some men but make others. No axe is sharp enough to cut the soul of a sinner who keeps on trying, one armed with the hope that he will rise even in the end.

Look around at things that just aren't getting done. Maybe there's a project you could tackle. Maybe there's an issue that always gets back-burnered for other priorities. Challenge yourself to take on those difficult assignments. They're learning opportunities, and you have a chance to change something for the better.

Fix your course on a star and you'll navigate any storm.

True heroism consists in rising superior to misfortune.

There shall be no Alps.
