“It was one of those sneaky days in late winter where spring came along to get a lay of the land.”

“Glory follows afflictions, not as the day follows the night but as the spring follows the winter; for the winter prepares the earth for the spring, so do afflictions sanctified prepare the soul for glory.”

“She thanked God that life was not always winter, that spring always came at last to chase away the cold and heaviness, and to release one to warmth and movement again.”

“And it came to pass in those days, as it had come before and would come again, that the Dark lay heavy on the land and weighed down the hearts of men, and the green things failed, and hope died. - from Charal Drianaan te Calamon, The Cycle of the Dragon”

“Have hope. Winter always turns into spring. What is hot always cools. And what is wrong always rights, one day.”

“The most beautiful springs are those that come after the most horrible winters!”
