I gather strength from life's storms.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Strength comes from struggle.
When you learn to see your struggles as opportunities to become stronger, better, wiser,
then your thinking shifts from 'I can't do this' to 'I must do this.
- Toni Sorenson

Being defeated is often a temporary condition.
Giving up is what makes it permanent.
- Marilyn vos Savant

We shall draw from the heart of suffering itself
the means of inspiration and survival.
- Winston Churchill

If I could tell the world just one thing
it would be we're all okay,
and not to worry cause worry is wasteful
and useless in times like these.
I won't be made useless.
I won't be idle with despair,
I will gather myself around my faith.
Light does the darkness most fear.
