Excerpt from English Writers
The physical and mental world presents some strange facts. One great law is, that the greater the obstacle the greater the success. The refining fire purifies gold; the irritation of the oyster forms the pearl; the fierce wind-storms toughen the giant oak. The great life is made greater by the obstacles thrown athwart its path, and genius succeeds never so well as patient, persevering work.
