"To bear up under loss;To fight bitterness of defeat and the weakness of grief;To be victor over anger;To smile when tears are close;To resist all disease and evil men and base instincts;To hate hate and love love;To go on living when it would seem good to die;To look up with unquenchable faith in something ever more about to be. That is what any man can do,and be great."
-Zane Grey
