Life is the test, living is the challenge, eternity is the reward.

Don’t resent the sky for its storms; rejoice at the sky for its rainbows.

You were given the problems you have because you can solve them; the burdens, because you can carry them; the trials, because you can overcome them; the opponents, because you can beat them; and the enemies, because you can conquer them.

Pain teaches you more than pleasure. Failure teaches you more than success. Poverty teaches you more than prosperity. Adversity teaches you more than comfort.

If an opportunity comes dressed in trouble’s apparel, do not scorn it.

Life is a sage’s university; hardship is his professor.

Use fear to become braver, pain to become stronger, trials to become wiser, and misfortune to become better.

The storm is the optimist’s friend, but the pessimist’s nightmare.

Be the calm in someone else’s storm.
