Coming through time after time after time, year after year after year. Commitment is the stuff character is made of. It is the power to change the face of things. It is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism. There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.
Love is what makes the trip worthwhile.
If you don't invest very much, then defeat doesn't hurt very much but winning is not very exciting. One may have authority over others, but one can never have another's heart but by first giving his own. Even if you miss, you'll land among stars.
