“The tired ox treads with a firmer step”
“Step out into the space with no path to tread and find the unimaginable.”
“There is no way to step off the tread mill. It is all treadmill.”
“Perhaps that is the wisdom of life, to tread in your father's steps, and look neither to the right nor to the left.”
“Life has no smooth road for any of us; and in the bracing intent of a high aim the very roughness encourages the climber to firmer steps, till the legend, over steep ways to the stars, fulfills itself.”
“The best way to treat obstacles is to use them as stepping-stones. Laugh at them, tread on them, and let them lead you to something better.”
