Quote

Marcus Aurelius·180 AD

So remember this principle when something threatens to cause you pain: the thing itself was no misfortune at all; to endure it and prevail is great good fortune.

Eleanor Roosevelt·1960

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." … You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

Theodore Roosevelt·1899

We cannot avoid meeting great issues. All that we can determine for ourselves is whether we shall meet them well or ill.
