“The habits of the vigorous mind are formed in contending with difficulties. Great necessities call out great virtues. When the mind is raised, and animated by scenes that engage the heart, then those qualities which would otherwise lay dormant, wake into life and form the character of the hero and the statesman.”

Abigail Adams and John Adams, David McCullough, John Adams, page 226
