There is no great hero without a great adversary. A momentous achievement can only be so atop a mountain of failed attempts. When you encounter such in your time, know they’re not unreachable, not untouchable, not invincible.

This is a time for heroes and heroines, great and small. You, of all your forebearers, were chosen to be here in the midst of modernity; because you alone have the strength to overcome the greatest evils our people have ever faced.

Likewise, you were chosen to lead the charge in our great revival, to usher the spring from a long winter.
