When you feel gloomy, think what has been done within the last year. How, rising from nothing.

If you have infinite patience and perseverance, success is bound to come. No mistake in that.

Don't look back—forward, infinite energy, infinite enthusiasm, infinite daring, and infinite patience—then alone can great deeds be accomplished.
