“ It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness. ”
If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.
~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Consult your friend on all things, especially on those which respect yourself. His counsel may then be useful where your own self-love might impair your judgment.
Brave men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war.
In war there is no prize for runner-up.
