-from The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire Volume 6 by Edward Gibbon
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. But let perseverance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
James 1:2-4 (NKJV)
