It was the wind that blew in my face that made me brave. You had to be taught what courage was. And a beginning is the greatest thing of all. To try to be brave is to be brave. The coward who tries to be brave is before the man who is brave because he is made so, and never had to try.
All kindness is but justice.
There is no hurry about understanding it now. I knew it would make you strong, just as it did the man in the boat, you remember. But how my breath has that power I cannot tell. It was put into it when I was made. That is all I know.
