If a problem has no solution, it may not be a problem, but a fact - not to be solved, but to be coped with over time.

In the time of darkest defeat, victory may be nearest.

When you encounter difficulties and contradictions, do not try to break them, but bend them with gentleness and time.

There is still time for endurance, time for patience, time for healing, time for change. Have you slipped? Rise up. Have you sinned? Cease. Do not stand among sinners, but leap aside.

Our little time of suffering is not worthy of our first night's welcome home to Heaven.

Every time I plant a seed, He say kill it before it grow, he say kill it before they grow.

Be brave! Let's remember our duty and perform it without complaint. There will be a way out. God has never deserted our people. Through the ages Jews have had to suffer, but through the ages they've gone on living, and the centuries of suffering have only made them stronger. The weak shall fall and the strong shall survive and not be defeated!

The Knock at the Door by Ina Boudier-Bakker.

Believe me, if you've been shut up for a year and a half, it can get to be too much for you sometimes. But feelings can't be ignored, no matter how unjust or ungrateful they seem.

Grace is the light or electricity or juice or breeze that takes you from that isolated place and puts you with others who are as startled and embarrassed and eventually grateful as you are to be there.

You want to protect your child from pain, and what you get instead is life, and grace; and though theologians insist that grace is freely given, the truth is that sometimes you pay for it through the nose. And you can't pay your child's way.

Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people.
