Thoreau - Know Which Path

 
When the heavens are obscured to us, and nothing noble or

heroic appears, but we are oppressed by imperfection and

shortcoming on all hands, we are apt to suck our thumbs and

decry our fates.  As if nothing was to be done in cloudy weather,

or, if heaven were not accessible by the upper road, men 

would not find a lower.  There are two ways to victory - to

strive bravely, or to yield.  How much pain the last will save us

we have not yet learned.
