“Resilience isn’t a magical superpower bestowed by fairy godmothers or donut shop sages. It isn’t built in grand, cinematic moments. It’s stitched together through small, messy, courageous steps, the ones you take when you choose to honor your values, even when it’s hard.”

“Among curious rubbish you will find sound sense if you look for it. You will find the creed of the people, as shewn in their stories, to be, that wisdom and courage, though weak, may overcome strength, and ignorance, and pride: that the most despised is often the most worthy; that small beginnings lead to great results. You will find perseverance, frugality, and filial piety rewarded; pride, greed and laziness punished... That you may go on acquiring knowledge, selecting the good, and rejecting the evil; that you, like Conal in the story, may gather gold, and escape unharmed from the giant's land, is the earnest wish of your affectionate Kinsman.”
