"Ironically, the ones in whom we most often glimpse this wholeness, this confidence, this serenity, are those who have suffered the most. They've tasted the world's worst, felt it's most destructive blows. And though they bear scars, though they limp a bit, showing that they've struggled, there is a life force in them that persists, and because they have
seen the worst, they are no longer afraid."

"But that's not all. We also brag when we are suffering. We know that suffering creates endurance, endurance creates character, and character creates confidence."

"When the rain comes you blame it on
the things that you have done
When the storm fades you know that
rain must fall on everyone
So rest awhile- It'll be alright
No one loves you like I do
I can't stop the rain
From falling down on you again
I can't stop the rain
But I will hold you 'til it goes away."
- Third Day
"Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby."

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
