Hard things are put in our way, not to stop us, but to call out our courage and strength.
Desire not to live long, but to live well;
How long we live, not years, but actions tell.
-Watkins.
If we had only fair weather, we should never learn how to sail the boat.

Speak to Him, thou, for He hears,
And spirit with spirit shall meet;
Nearer is He than breathing,
Closer than hands and feet.
When you are quite content to bear what God has laid upon you, He will soon remove it or show you that it is a real blessing to you.
A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck.
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
Success is coming up to the level of our best.
The world makes way for a determined man.
