Trials make more room for consolation. There is nothing that makes a man have a big heart like a great trial. I always find that little, miserable people, whose hearts are about the size of a grain of mustard seed, never have had much to try them. I have found that those people who have no sympathy for their fellows β who never weep for the sorrows of others β very seldom have had any woes of their own. Great hearts can only be made by great troubles.
