Last night, The Samurai From The Outlands responded to my post on the Tousando about recent events. "Japanese in the SCA is extra-ordinary. It still requires more fortitude than other paths. He will find his way if he wants it bad enough."

So without further ado:

What is there like fortitude! What sap went through that little thread to make the cherry red!  - Marianne Moore (1887-1972)

Be thou my exaltation Or fortitude of mien, Lord of the world's elation,Thou breath of things unseen!  - Bliss Carman (1861-1929), Canadian...

I know of no higher fortitude than stubborness in the face of overwhelming odds. - Louis Nizer

Heaven is large, and affords space for all modes of love and fortitude. Why should we be busybodies and superserviceable?  - Ralph Waldo Emerson

A mode of conduct, a standard of courage, discipline, fortitude and integrity can do a great deal to make a woman beautiful.  - Jacqueline Bisset

I like the way you think!

Now - do you have all of these quotes saved, or are you looking them up someplace? I have some ideas for lists like yours - but I'm woefully ignorant of what the masters have said on such things.

I must give credit to moira_ramsay. The other day she posted a bunch of quotes on the subject of discovery. I thought it made an excellent idea for meme play and did one on music a couple of days ago. The fortitude one seemed appropos today.

All you need is a theme and an online quotation site like http://www.quotationspage.com/ or http://www.quoteland.com/ or http://www.bartleby.com/
