| Back | God has given us, in a measure, the power to make our own fate; and when our energies seem to demand a sustenance they cannot get--when our will strains after a path we may not follow--we need neither starve from inanition, nor stand still in despair: we have but to seek another nourishment for the mind, as strong as the forbidden food it longed to taste--and perhaps purer; and to hew out for the adventurous foot a road as direct and broad as the one Fortune has blocked up against us, if rougher than it. |

| Front | Si alguna vez nuestras energías son impotentes para seguir el camino que deseamos, no debemos desesperar. Busquemos otro desahogo a nuestra alma, otro placer para nuestro corazón, tan intensos -y acaso más puros- que los que nos son vedados y, si no podemos seguir el sendero que la Fortuna nos cierra, emprendamos otro, aunque sea más escabroso. |
