It has all the terrible beauty of a Greek tragedy, a tragedy in which I took a great part, but by which I have not been wounded.

There is no education like adversity.

Without failure there is no achievement.

Stay strong! Your test will become your test-imony, your mess will become your mess-age.

There are good men everywhere, at all times. Most men are. Some are just unlucky, because most men are a little better than their circumstances give them a chance to be. And I've known some that even the circumstances couldn't stop. ~from 'Delta Autumn

Annoying mishaps always seem to cluster around times of spiritual fruitfulness. That's not exactly coincidence.

Every problem comes along with it's solution; the bigger the problem, the bigger the testimony. Cheer up!

Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.

Life is a series of experiences, each of which makes us bigger, even though it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and griefs which we endure help us in our marching onward.

Failure is a school in which the truth always grows strong.

Suffering is part of the divine idea.
