Recipe for Greatness
To bear up under loss;
To fight the bitterness of defeat
and the weakness of grief.
To be victory over anger;
To smile when tears are close;
To resist disease and evil men
and base instincts;
To hate hate and to love love;
To go on when it would seem
good to die;
To look up with unquenchable
faith in something ever more
about to be.
That is what any man can do,
and be great.
Zane Grey
