I need plenty more...

In all important transformations of life we have to take a leap in the dark. If I decide to leave the riddles unanswered or if we waver in our answer, that is a choice I make at our peril. If I choose to turn my back altogether on the will of the universe, no one can show beyond reasonable doubt that I am mistaken. I stand on a mountain pass in the midst of whirling snow and blinding mist through which I get glimpses now and then of paths that may be deceptive. If I stand still I shall be frozen to death. If I take the wrong road, I shall be dashed to pieces. What must I do? Simply act for the best, hope for the best, and take what comes, and if death ends all, I cannot meet death better.
