Text :
The habits of a vigorous mind are formed in contending with difficulties, not in enjoying the repose of a pacific station; penetration and wisdom are the fruits of experience, not the lessons of retirement and leisure; ardor and generosity are the qualities of a mind roused and animated in the conduct of scenes that engage the heart, not the gifts of rejection or knowledge.
