"By trying we can easily endure adversity. Another man's, I mean" — Mark Twain

Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air.

The love of gardening is a seed once sown that never dies

Walking is the best possible exercise. Habituate yourself to walk very far.

Without the Cross we cannot attain to glory.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power

The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity

Mark Twain Quote
