“You can't avoid pain, but you can choose to overcome it.”

“There are odd things in life, and one of them is pain. The odd thing about pain is this: you can't avoid it. You just can't. Maybe if you lived in a sealed room your whole life you could, but that would be lonely and cause you emotional pain, and it might mean you've been kidnapped, so...just don't live sealed rooms. Also...you can't avoid pain.”

“Avoidance is never the answer. Yes, life is all about pain and trouble and frustration and anger, but it's also about love and friendship and good days and sunshine. You can't have one without the other. If you avoid pain, you avoid living.”

“The pain when you fail is not to convince you to stop, but to be overcome so you can find success there and move on.”

“You can't choose your problems. But, you can choose how you handle them.”

“You can't choose how you're born, but you can choose how you die”
