What I know for sure is that there is no strength without challenge, adversity, resistance, and often pain.

Fix your course on a star and you'll navigate any storm.

True heroism consists in rising superior to misfortune.

Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new center of gravity. Don't fight them. Just find a new way to stand.

Difficulties break some men but make others. No axe is sharp enough to cut the soul of a sinner who keeps on trying, one armed with the hope that he will rise even in the end.

Every one of us gets through the tough times because somebody is there, standing in the gap to close it for us.
