Books are only made so that they may point the way to a higher life; but no good results unless the path is trodden with unflinching steps!

This faith in themselves was in the hearts of our ancestors, this faith in themselves was the motive power that pushed them forward and forward in the march of civilisation, and if there has been degeneration, if there has been defect, mark my words, you will find that degeneration to have started on the day our people lost faith in themselves.

Say, "I can do everything."
