At times of crisis, myths have their historical importance.

Difficulties mastered are opportunities won.

Face to face, difficulties which appear really insuperable at a distance are very often removed altogether from our path.

When we face with a steady eye the difficulties which lie before us, we may derive new confidence from remembering those we have already overcome.

Why be afraid of difficulties, sufferings and problems? When troubles come, try to understand the relevance of your sufferings. Adversity always presents opportunities for introspection.

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.
