Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong.

Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them. -Ralph Waldo Emerson.

into oils and ochers all the enchantments of spring or autumn; or
can liberate or intoxicate all people who hear him with delicious
songs and verses, 'tis certain that the secret can not be kept:
the first witness tells it to a second, and men go by fives and
tens and fifties to his door.

Tender handed stroke a nettle,
And it stings you for your pains;
Grasp it like a man of mettle,
And it soft as silk remains.

I've had enough success for two lifetimes, my success is talent put together with hard work and luck.
