Misery and happiness are equal factors in the formation of character.

If you take the character of any man... you will find that misery and happiness are equal factors in the formation of that character. Good and evils have an equal share in moduling character, and in some instances misery is a greater teacher than happiness.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
