“Let us sacrifice one day to gain perhaps a whole life.”
“The victory one would gain after a whole life of work and effort is better than one that is gained sooner.”
“All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. Nor will it be finished in the first one thousand days . . .nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin.”
“And how could we endure to live and let time pass if we were always crying for one day or one year to come back--if we did not know that every day in a life fills the whole life with expectation and memory and that these are that day?”
“It is a matter of life and death for us; for the lead we gain by day on ships and railways is lost each night.”
“I will at least have gained one veryhappy day in my life. Considering the way the world is, one happy day is almost amiracle.”
