Love these. This quote stuck out to me:

> It follows, I think, that the luckier you’ve been, the more humility and generous spiritedness you need, and the unluckier you’ve been, the more compassion for yourself you need, and unfair as it may seem, the more you need irrepressible resolve.

Few among the lucky are humble, few among the unlucky are serene, and irrepressible resolve is often met by irresistible fate.
