Awesome Quotes

I just talked to some old friends from college, and it was wonderful hearing their voices. Some of them I hadn't been in touch with in a very long time. It just so happened that the friend I called was at a party with all these other friends. Anyways, I think it helps me, talking with old friends gives me extra strength to make it through these difficult times.

I'd like to share some quotes that really resonate with me. They mostly deal with adversity and suffering.

• "Know how sublime a thing it is to suffer and be strong."

• "All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming." Helen Keller

• "He who has hope has everything."

• "He who suffers much will know much."

• "Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before."

• "Determination, patience, and courage are the only things needed to improve any situation."

• "Never talk defeat. Use words like hope, belief, faith, victory."

• "Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict."

• "The mind is everything. What you think you become."

• "A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner."

And with that battery of quotes, I'm ready to murderate this illness! Hooray!
