Throw a champion into the ocean, and he’ll swim.Throw a champion into the pit, and he’ll climb.Throw him off a cliff, and he’ll grow wings.Throw him into a furnace, and he’ll become gold.

The greater the humiliation, the greater the accolades.The greater the opposition, the greater the triumph.The greater the pain, the greater the blessing.The greater the loss, the greater the gain.The greater the danger, the greater the glory.

From rocks come gold.From coal comes diamonds.From oysters come pearls.From caterpillars come butterflies.From adversity come the great.

The world's most gracious plant is a flower; even when you trample it, it perfumes your feet.

Great obstacles are no match for a great God.

Pain is the seasoning that gives pleasure its flavor.

In our deepest valleys we are strengthened to climb our highest mountains.

The size of your storm determines the size of your sunshine.

Our deepest wounds requirethe most time to heal.Our greatest weaknesses requirethe most strength to overcome.Our greatest losses requirethe most faith to recoup.Danger will inspire you if you are determined.Risk will intimidate you if you are spineless.Gauge your rewards by the amount of risks you take.Measure your victories by the amount of opposition you have overcome.
