Among human beings, strong personalities are most entirely and permanently themselves; and without fear of losing themselves can challenge the currents of circumstances to play upon them, adapt themselves to new conditions.

They are unchanged; and that unchangeableness is their truth." To educate to live effectively in an ever-changing world
