a smile that is the wellspring of optimism and hope — as one of the Palestinian refugee women did when I visited her to console her and said: "Do not grieve, sister; if you have lost your son, you have in his two brothers the best consolation." And the mother cut me short with a smile: "I did not lose him — I gave him as a gift." This brave woman was able to conquer her human weakness and to look upon her misfortune through her conscious national mind, and her courage raised her to the height of heroism.

Such is life — bitter and harsh; and since none but heroes rise above it, let our parts in it be the parts of heroes and heroines, not the parts of despairing, crushed ghosts, living withdrawn and dismal in life's corners.

We must be victorious over our weakness, to deserve the blessing of the beautiful, free life. Our victory over what is in us of weakness and gloom and sloth and old age of the soul — our victory alone gives us that surging vitality, and that beautiful activity of spirit, and that strength which does not wither... And the candle will not go out until the everlasting light has conquered the terrible darkness in our depths — so let us be victorious!!
