One of the worst results of being a slave and being forced to do things is that when there is no one to force you any more you find you have almost lost the power of forcing yourself.
When things go wrong, you’ll find they usually go on getting worse for some time, but when things once start going right they often go on getting better and better.
If you do one good deed your reward usually is to be set to do another and harder and better one.
Do not by any means destroy yourself, for if you live you may yet have good fortune, but all he dead are dead alike.
Can you fall and get up again without crying and mount again and fall again and yet not be afraid of falling?
