" As a man of sense never at∣tempts impossibilities, on one hand, or the other, he is never discouraged by difficulties: on the contrary, he redoubles his industry and his diligence, he perseveres, and infallibly prevails at last. "

― Philip Dormer Stanhope , Lord Chesterfield's Advice to His Son on Men and Manners. To Which Are Added, Selections from Colton's "Lacon," or Many Things in Few Words
