I Do Not Know

Difficulties exist to be surmounted.
The great heart will no more complain
of the obstructions that make success hard,
than of the iron walls of the gun
which hinder the shot from scattering.
It was walled round with iron
tube with that purpose,
to give it irresistible force in one direction.
A strenuous soul hates cheap success...

-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
