......even pain confers spiritual insight, a beauty of outlook, a philosophy of life, and understanding and forgiveness of humanity--in short, a quality of peace and serenity--suffering is a cleansing fire that chars away much of the meanness, triviality and restlesness of so-called "health". As Milton declared, "Who best can suffer, best can do." ~Louis Bisch
Great minds have purposes, others have wishes. Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune; but great minds rise above them. ~Washington Irving
No words can express how much the world owes to sorrow. Most of the Psalms were born in a wilderness. Most of the epistles were written in a prison. The gretaest thoughts of the greatest thinkers have all passed through fire. The greatest poets have "learned in suffering what they taught in song". ~MacDonald
We never have more burdens than we can bear. The present hour we are always able to endure. As our day, so is our strength. Each trial is sent to teach us something, and altogether they have a lesson which is beyond the power of any to teach alone. ~H.E. Manning
I f you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them. ~Thoreau
I hate to see things done by halves. If it is right, do it boldly, if it be wrong, leave it undone. ~Gilpin
ADVERSITY is the path of truth. ~Byron
HELL is truth seen to late. ~Adam
It is in those acts which we call trivilaities that the seeds of joy are forever wasted. ~ George Eliot
The greatest prayer is patience ~Buddha
I would be true, for there are those that trust me.
I would be pure, for there are those who care
I would be strong, for there is much to suffer
I would be brave, for there is much to dare
I would be friend of all~ the foe, the friendless
I would be giving, and forget the gift
I would be humble, for I know my weakness
I would look up--and laugh---and love--and lift. ~H.A. Walter
