“「Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.」”

“「You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might pray also in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance.」”

“「Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.」”

“「The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose.」”

“「To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower.」”

“「Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.」”
