There are but two roads

There are but two roads that lead to an important goal and to the doing of great things: strength and perseverance.  Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time. ——Goethe

世间只有两条路，可以使人达到重大目标或完成伟业，那就是力量和坚持不懈。力量只有少数得天独厚的人才能拥有，但严格而坚持不懈，是任何最渺小的人物都能做得到的，且很少有不能达到目的的时候，因为坚持不懈的静默的力量随着时间而变得强大起来，不可抗拒。——歌德
