My mom's was, "You have two options. Take it or leave it." But there was nothing else to be had if you "leave it" and got up from the table. She made sure of that.

"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear"

A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.

"It is not from ourselves that we will learn to be better than we are"

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.
