Those with indomitable spirit are the real successes in life. If you can so train or condition your mind that you are content regardless of what you have or do not have, and if you can stand the challenge of all your trials and remain calm, that is true happiness.
It might be that to surrender to happiness was to accept defeat, but it was a defeat better than many victories.
-W. Somerset Maugham
