"Perseverance and spirit have one wonders in all ages" -General George Washington
I'm reading the book, "1776" by David McCullough, and I'm finding it remarkable how true this quote by George Washington is when looking at our nation's history. The "rag-tag" colonies and the farmers and country boys who volunteered for the American cause in the Revolution were surely out-skilled and under-equipped in comparison with the British forces.
Yet as time and time again history has shown, the greatest strength of any peoples is their passion and zeal for their cause. This is a reminder for daily life that we should put our whole effort into any cause we undertake if we want to live a meaningful legacy.
