“Strength is born in the deep silence of long-suffering hearts; not amid joy.”
“There is nothing dreary or doubtful about (the life). It is meant to be continually joyful...We are called to a settled happiness in the Lord whose joy is our strength.”
“Because with joy, we overcome the terror. With love, strength, and hope, we prevail.”
“From my tears of happiness I have became a mountain of strength surrounded by a sea of Joy.”
“To tell the truth I never had it so good. But I lacked the strength of character to bear such joy.”
