Andrew KrivakLike the body, courage, too, is a thing weakened, especially when we are young and invincible. We can't give one the rest it needs and expect the other to protect us. Don't anger Nature with talk of wishing she had chosen differently. See to your own nature.
About This Quote
If you have a weak body, you cannot expect a strong one. In the same way, if you have a weak character, you cannot expect a strong one either. When you are young, you should not be careless about how you bring up your character. People who are young at heart and never think about it can end up being immature and weak in character. The only thing that can bring a strong character is hard work and constant effort.
