Trials Reveal Strength

WITHOUT trials you cannot guess at your own strength. Men do not learn to swim on a table. They must go into deep water, and buffet the surges. If you wish to understand their true character; if you would know their strength, of what they are capable, throw them overboard. Over with them, and if they are worth saving, they will swim ashore themselves.
