Determination

Evelyn F. Heywood

Determination is a state of thought and discloses character, working for good or ill according to the motive and will which actuate it. Let no one allow another's determination, whether in opposition or in support of his own, to affect his own initiative. Nothing can undermine or deflect the resolution of him who knows that his cause is right; nor on the other hand should support from outside be who waits upon Principle for his wisdom and protection. In these words did Shakespeare exhort humanity:

Threaten the threat'ner and outface the brow
Of bragging horror: so shall inferior eyes,
That borrow their behaviours from the great,
Grow great by your example and put on
The dauntless spirit of resolution.
