"If what shone afar so grand
Turn to nothing in thy hand,
On again, the virtue lies
In the struggle, not the prize."
R. M. Milnes.
"One would like one's own failures to be one's friends' stepping stones.... I am trying to teach myself that if one has been working, one has not necessarily been working to good purpose, and that one may waste strength and forces of all sorts, as well as time."
Mrs. Ewing's Letters.
"Rise ... as children learn, be thou
Wiser for falling."
Tennyson.
