The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark. ↗

In this age, which believes that there is a short cut to everything, the greatest lesson to be learned is that the most difficult way is, in the long run, the easiest. ↗
