Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.
Meaning is not what you start with but what you end up with
If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.
The willow which bends to the tempest, often escapes better than the oak which resists it; and so in great calamities, it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their elasticity and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier character.
There are no more worlds to conquer!
Well begun is half done.
