944 Quotes by Stephen Richards

Assuming you are still lost in thought about when exactly you should forgive someone, well the time is NOW.

Pain can cause us to learn no end of lessons, but without resolution there can be no healing!

The pain you have gone through will give you the strength of character to come through it all, so long as you learn from what you have suffered then it was not suffering at all.
