| Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. Confucius The greater the difficulty, the more the glory in surmounting it. Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular. History is only the register of crimes and misfortunes.

| I like the quotes and I like your responses, Anneliese |

| That's one reason the quotes are so appealing; often they are relevant to or can be applied to one's personal circumstances. Sometimes it's comforting, other times distressing to know that whatever happens to you has probably already happened to somebody else! |
