Sivu viii - I have great faith in hard work. The material world does much for the mind by its beauty and order ; but it does more for our minds by the pains it inflicts — by its obstinate resistance, which nothing but patient toil can overcome — by its vast forces, which nothing but unremitting skill and effort can turn to our use— by its perils, which demand continual vigilance — and by its tendencies to decay. I believe that difficulties are more important to the human mind than what we call assistances....

Sivu viii - Man owes his growth, his energy, chiefly to that striving of the will, that conflict with difficulty, which we call Effort.
