Consider it pure joy,my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1:2-4.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, or walk with Kings-- nor lose the common touch, if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, if all men count with you, but none too much: if you can fill the unforgiving minute wit sixty seconds' worth of distance run, yours is the earth and everything that's in it, and which is more, you'll be a Man, my son. From "If" by Rudyard Kipling.
