William Hazlitt: Our energy is in proportion to the resistance it meets. We can attempt nothing…

Our energy is in proportion to the resistance it meets. We can attempt nothing great but from a sense of the difficulties we have to encounter; we can persevere in nothing great but from a pride in overcoming them.

In today’s wordsOur energy rises in proportion to the resistance it meets. We only attempt great things because we see the difficulties, and we only persevere in them out of pride in overcoming them.
