The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death. -Thomas Paine (1737 - 1809)
I agree with this because really the more hard the conflict or the problem and you get through it, it makes you feel alot better because you got through a really hard thing! And it is really nice to see some one that is in the same problem with you smiling. It makes things seem like nothing is happening, i tmakes you forget things for a little while until reality slips back in.
