Quote:Some of the greatest men in history have never discovered their [abilities] until they lost everything but their pluck and grit.
Orisen Swett Marden
For some reason this reminds me of one of my favorite C.S. Lewis quotes:
"Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point."
Both quotes seem to say that the strength that really matters sometimes manifests in the face of the harshest adversity.
