When a man is pushed, tormented, defeated, he has a chance to learn something; he has been put on his wits; on his manhood; he has gained the facts; learned his ignorance; is cured of the insanity of conceit; has got moderation and real skill.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
A deadly viper once bit a hole snipe's hide; But 'twas the viper, not the snipe, that died.
