What lies behind you and what lies in front of
you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you. Ralph Waldo Emerson The world breaks everyone, and
afterward, some are strong at the broken places. Ernest Hemingway Promise me you’ll always remember: You’re braver than you believe, and
stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. Christopher Robin to Pooh (by A. A. Milne) Although the world is full of suffering, it is also
full of the overcoming of it. Helen
Keller It
is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves. Sir Edmund Hillary Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we
fall. Confucius In the midst of winter, I finally
learned there
was in me an
invincible summer. Albert Camus I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly,
acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still
know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing. Agatha Christie We
rely upon the poets, the philosophers and the playwrights to articulate what
most of us can only feel, in joy or sorrow. They illuminate the thoughts for
which we only grope. They give us the strength and balm we cannot find in
ourselves. Whenever I find my courage wavering I rush to them. They give me the
wisdom of acceptance, the will and resilience to push on. Helen Hayes
