“Grief can take care of itself; but to get the full value of a joy… — Mark Twain

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear — not absence of fear.

It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.

Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.

Habit is habit, and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed down-stairs a step at a time.

Grief can take care of itself; but to get the full value of a joy you must have somebody… — Mark Twain
