They regard a difficult task as a privilege; it is to them a recreation to play with burdens that would crush all others.”

“Ах! Винаги малцина са те, чието сърце има трайна смелост и дързост; а на такива и духът остава търпелив. Останалите са малодушни. Останалите: те са винаги мнозинството, всекидневието, излишъкът, много-и-премногото - тия всички са малодушни!”
