I will not be discouraged by failure; I will not be elated by success.

So then, when I speak to you, I speak to myself. If I seem to warn or to rebuke you, it is not so much you, as myself, to whom the warning or the rebuke is addressed.
There will be no misgiving, no shrinking back, no calculation of overpowering odds, no terror of possible consequences, if you frankly accept the gift which God offers you tomorrow.
Eternal truth, eternal righteousness, eternal love; these only can triumph, for these only can endure.
