In the night, in the dark, the tragedy part was always to the front, and always warning, always threatening; and so I moaned and tossed, and sleep was hard to find. But in the cheerful daylight the tragedy element faded out and diappeared, and I walked on air, and was happy to giddiness, to intoxication, you may say.

The death of each day’s life, sore labor’s bath,
Balm of hurt minds, great nature’s second course,

— The rueful murderer in
Shakespeare’s Macbeth
Act II Scene 2

If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. A man must constantly exceed his level.
