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.

Ocean sailing does not cease at sunset, or when a motel is reached, or when one is tired of it. It goes on and on, day and night, hour after hour, seasickness, discomfort not withstanding, hammering seas be damned.

A deadly viper once bit a hole snipe's hide; But 'twas the viper, not the snipe, that died.
