The mind grappling with great aims and wrestling with mighty ingredients, grows, by certain necessity, to their stature.

Author: William Cullen Bryant

«Childhood, with all its mirth,Youth, Manhood, Age that draws us to the ground,And last, Man's Life on earth,Glide to thy dim dominions, and are bound.»
