"Before the gates of excellence the high gods have placed sweat; long is the road thereto and rough and steep at first; but when the heights are reached, then there is ease, though grievously hard in the winning."
"The heights by great men reached and kept
Were not obtained by sudden flight,
But they, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night."
"Those on top of the mountain did not fall there."
Thank you, Cheryl, for these quotes. I like all of them. Thank you very much for the inspiration.
