It's a very simple formula which you have learned.

  has brought us is worth our personal share of pain. The growth of higher feeling
  within us is like the growth of faculty, bringing with it a sense of added strength.

  can wish to return to their cruder manner, or philosophers to their less complete formulas.

• I do not accept any absolute formulas for living. No preconceived code can see ahead to everything that can happen in a man's life. As we live, we grow and our beliefs change. They must change. So I think we should live with this constant discovery. We should be open to this adventure in heightened awareness of living. We should stake our whole existence on our willingness to explore and experience.
