Quote: Men shall learn wisdom, by affliction schooled.
In visions of the night, like dropping rain, Descend the many memories of pain Before the spirit's sight: through tears and dole Comes wisdom o'er the unwilling soul- A boon, I wot, of all Divinity, That holds its sacred throne in strength, above the sky!
"You don't throw a whole life away just 'cause it's banged up a little"
