"When life becomes too easy you never learn to live. Never learn to struggle, never have to give. Everything that's in you to make and pay your way. Filling every minute of a full Length day. Pity the the youngsters, whose blessings freely fall. From the state. They miss so much : the greatest thrill of all; the thrill of independence that develops character --- Ambition as the stimulant, Adversity the spur.
When life is made too cosy a bore it soon becomes. There is not much flavour in the unearned plums. Only that which cost you an effort to possess ..... yields the satisfaction of pride and happiness. When life becomes too easy a dead-end path it seems. No lovely peak to strive for; no point in dreaming dreams. It's the daily challenge that difficulty brings. Teaches self-reliance in big and little things."
