Show VICTORY (OF THE IMPERSONAL LIFE) When you are forgotten, or neglected or purposely set at naught, and ou smile inwardly, glorying in the insult or the oversight that is victory. When your good is evil spoken of, when your wishes are crossed, your tastes offended, your advice disregarded, your opinions ridiculed, and you take it all in patient, loving silence that is victory. i When you are content with any raiment, any climate, any society, any solitude, any interruption that is victory. When you can bear with any discord, any annoyance, any irregularity, any unpunctuality (of which you are not the cause) that is victory. When you never care to refer to yourself in conversation, nor to record your good works, nor to record your good works nor to seek after commendation; when you can truly "love" to be "unknown" that is victory.
