The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is Dearness only that gives Everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death. Thomas Paine US patriot & political philosopher (1737 - 1809).
