Nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. A leader is best when people barely know he exists.
Success is never final and failure is never fatal.
It's courage that counts. A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity. One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar. One person with a belief is equal to ninety-nine with only interests.
