The gem cannot be polished without friction nor man without trials.
The brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They are there to stop the other people!
The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.
