Persistence is to the character of man as carbon is to steel.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Energy and persistence conquer all things.
Carbon is the stuff of life, and it's the stuff of everything used by human society. All of our materials are made of carbon or of substances, such as steel or glass, which are produced through the utilization of carbon.
Persistence pays off.
The fact is fossil fuel carbon will stay in the surface climate system for millennia.
The man of character is the persistent man, the man who is faithful to his own word, his own convictions, his own affections.
Substance is enduring, form is ephemeral.
Carbon is probably a bit harder to wrap since it's procedural.
If carbon came out of the ground, it has to go back into the ground.
No man can stand still; the moment progress is not made, retrogression begins. If the blade is not kept sharp and bright, the law of rust will assert its claim.
I keep coming back to you in my head, but you couldn't know that, and I have no carbons.
