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.

You become strong by defying defeat and by turning loss and failure into success.

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

Perseverance and spirit have done wonders in all ages.

Victory is not always winning the battle...but rising every time you fall.

Wherever you are in your journey, I hope you, too, will keep encountering challenges. It is a blessing to be able to survive them, to be able to keep putting one foot in front of the other-to be in a position to make the climb up life's mountain, knowing that the summit still lies ahead. And every experience is a valuable teacher.
