“When a man is determined, what can stop him? Cripple him, and you have a Sir Walter Scott. Put him in a prison cell, and you have a John Bunyan. Bury him in the snows of Valley Forge, and you have a George Washington. Have him born in abject poverty, and you have a Lincoln. Put him in the grease pit of a locomotive roundhouse, and you have a Walter P. Chrysler. Make him second fiddle in an obscure South African orchestra, and you have a Toscanini. The hardships of life are sent not by an unkind destiny to crush, but to challenge.”
— Sam E. Roberts
