Love accepts the trying things of life without asking for explanations. It trusts and is at rest.

The warrior's approach is to say 'yes' to life: 'yes' to it all.

Well, well, we can't get through this world without our share of trouble. I've had a pretty easy life of it so far, but my time has come at last and I suppose I'll just have to make the best of it.

We should not expect to have all the blessings of life and none of its trials. It would make this world too delightful a dwelling place, and I fear we would never care to leave it.

You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with the best you have to give.

Maturity' really means: being very unsurprised by, and calm around, pain and disappointment.

You have to accept whatever comes, and the only important thing is that you meet it with the best you have to give.

As life hits us head-on we can respond with resentment, resignation, acceptance, or welcome. We are the living examples of our responses.
