Thomas Paine sums up my way of thinking quite simply:

"I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection.  'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death."

Luv things in my reading lists :D
