Their present hindering will but swell the tide flowing your way later. There’s something godlike in the enthusiastic soul. Enthusiasm paints Its own stars in the mental firmament and then draws from them light You might as well try to pull the sun from the sky as to hinder the youth who Is led by enthusiasm. His life Is too buoyant to be held down by oppression. Injustice merely makes him a martyr and wins the to him. And when he feels the opposition of unthinking men he will rise to greater heights as he thrills those who listen with the story of his wrongs. What he gees or thinks he sees makes him Irresistible and fits him to conquer.—Grit
