"In light of knowledge attained, the happy achievement seems almost a matter of course, and any intelligent student can grasp it without too much trouble. But the years of anxious searching in the dark, with their intense longing, their alterations of confidence and exhaustion and the final emergence into the light -- only those who have experienced it can understand it."	Accomplishment, Achievement, Confidence
"The highest destiny of the individual is to serve rather than to rule."	Destiny, Fate

Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."	Ambition, Art, Beauty
"The only real valuable thing is intuition."	Ability

Added to this is the spirit of ambition which pervades your very being, and seems to make the day's work like a happy child at play. (referring to America)"	Ambition, America, Happiness
