To endure is greater than to dare; to tire out hostile fortune; to be daunted by no difficulty; to keep heart when all have lost it; to go through intrigue spotless; and to forgo even ambition when the end is gained — who can say this is not greatness?

– William Makepeace Thackeray, an English victorian writer born on the day of my birthday, July 18, 1811

*According to Wikiquote, it was quote of the day in 2006, on my birthday. Astig, maybe in the future, merong quote of the day na galing sa akin. hahahaha.

*As I am currently reading the 12th book of the Series (: I came across this quote. Wala lang, I just like it. (:
