Samuel Johnson: Resolution will sometimes relax, and diligence will sometimes be interrupted…

Resolution will sometimes relax, and diligence will sometimes be interrupted; but let no accidental surprise or deviation, whether short or long, dispose you to despondency.

In today’s wordsResolve will sometimes weaken and diligence will sometimes be interrupted; but don't let any unexpected setback or lapse, short or long, push you into despair.
