I was not afraid of what I did not like. To overcome dislike of a thing often satisfied one's feeling of honour.

I was a town child, it is true, but that did not prevent me enjoying open-air life, with plants and animals.

I was always hearing that I was pale and thin and small.

But I did not find any positive inspiration in my studies until I approached my nineteenth year.

It was jolly in the country. A cow and little pigs to play with and milk warm from the cow.

The stream of time sweeps away errors, and leaves the truth for the inheritance of humanity.

Poor is the power of the lead that becomes bullets compared to the power of the hot metal that becomes types.
