Rely on your own strength…..

… of body and soul. Take for your star self-reliance, faith, honesty and industry. Don’t take too much advice — keep at the helm and steer your own ship, and remember that the great art of commanding is to take a fair share of the work. Fire above the mark you intend to hit. Energy and invincible determination with the right motive are the levers that move the world.
Noah Porter

“The best is he who calls men…..

…… to the best. And those who heed the call are also blessed. But worthless who call not, heed not, but rest.”

— Hesiod
8th Century BC Greek poet

The ultimate measure of a man……

………. is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

– Martin Luther King, Jr.

Misfortunes, untoward events…….

………, lay open, disclose the skill of a general, while success conceals his weakness, his weak points.
Horace
