"The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph"

I was reading to day ( for fun) Part of "The American Crisis" written by Thomas Pain. ( He also wrote common sense) He wrote this in his paper.
" Yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain to too cheap, we esteem to lightly; 'tis dearness only that gives everything its value."
When we work extremely hard for something and reach the goal the rewards feel much greater. When we don't try and do well we don't have as great of a reward. What is "hard"? What is "dear"? I am going to use the word " fight for". There are small things to "fight" for such as sticking up for your 4 year old sister when she is being clobbered by my 7 year old brother. Then there are really big things to fight for such as taking the stand of pro-life. You are fighting for the lives of unborn children. We can not be afraid to fail. Something that we know that God is calling us to work for we can be sure will have the rewards in heaven. "The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."-Laura
