    Laura Ingalls Wilder
    “It can't beat us!" Pa said.
    "Can't it, Pa?" Laura asked stupidly.
    "No," said Pa. "It's got to quit sometime and we don't. It can't lick us. We won't give up."
    Then Laura felt a warmth inside her. It was very small but it was strong. It was steady, like a tiny light in the dark, and it burned very low but no winds could make it flicker because it would not give up.”
