If you simply go after that thing that you want with all of your capacity, strength and sagacity, faith, hope and confidence and stern for tenacity If neither cold poverty, famish or gout or sickness or pain of body and brain can keep you away from the thing that you want, If dogged and grim you be size and beget it, with the help of GOD you’ll get it!
