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

“「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.」”

“「If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, that will be enough.」”

“「Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them.」”
