Life has no smooth road for any of us;
and in the bracing atmosphere of a high aim 
the very roughness stimulates the climber to steadier steps,
 till the legend, over steep ways to the stars, fulfills itself.

 Don't waste your life in doubts and fears:
 spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that 
the right performance of this hour's duties
 will be the best preparation for the hours or ages that follow it.
Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is only one way to happiness,
 and that is to cease worrying things which are beyond the power of our will. 
Author: Epictetus
