The Better Business Bureau

"The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is
dearness only that gives everything its value. I love
the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather
strength from distress and grow brave by reflection.
'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he
whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves
his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death."

- Thomas Paine
