As in labor, the more one doth exercise, the more one is enabled to do, strength growing upon work ; so with the use of suffering, men's minds get the habit of suffering, and all fears and terrors are not to them but as a summons to battle, whereof they know beforehand they shall come off victorious.
—Sir Philip Sidney
A deadly viper once bit a hole snipe's hide; But 'twas the viper, not the snipe, that died.
