"Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars."

I resolved that they should not crush or dwarf my soul, but rather be made to blossom, like Aaron's rod, with flowers.

I am thankful for small mercies. I compared notes with one of my friends who expects everything of the universe, and is disappointed when anything is less than the best, and I found that I begin at the other extreme, expecting nothing, and am always full of thanks for moderate goods.
