"If some way could be found so that competition could be eliminated from life, the result would be disastrous. Any nation and any people disappear if life becomes too easy. There is no danger in a hard life as all history shows. Danger is from a life that is made soft by lack of competition."
"Development in many directions is latent in every person. The difficulty has been that few recognize that fact. Fewer still will put themselves under the pressure or by chance are put under the pressure that would develop them greatly. Their latent abilities remain latent, hence useless."
