The sufferings of love should ennoble, not degrade.
 
      George Sand

Some day, in years to come, you will be wrestling with the 
great temptation, or trembling under the great sorrow of 
your life. But the real struggle is here, now, in these quiet 
weeks. Now it is being decided whether, in the day of your 
supreme sorrow or temptation, you shall miserably fail or 
gloriously conquer. Character cannot be made except by a 
steady, long continued process.

         Phillips Brooks

he has flung his whole life with all the determination and 
energy he could muster.
 
              Orison Sweet Marden
