+"If you control yourself, you control life. You should not give in to every
+little problem. Be open, be determined, never play the cripple, but control
+yourself. Be the master of your pain and problems. Force yourself to be
+cheerfully faithful. Then you will find strength you did not know you had.
+Command yourself so that you can master yourself. Do something every day
+that you do not like to do, and avoid doing something every day that you
+would gladly have done. That is the secret of every great personality."
