Most people carry that pain around inside them their whole lives, until they kill the pain by other means, or until it kills them. But you, my friends, you found another way: a way to use the pain. To burn it as fuel, for light and warmth. You have learned to break the world that has tried to break you.

Lev Grossman-

Anyone can give up; it is the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone would expect you to fall apart, now that is true strength.

Chris Bradford-

And one has to understand that braveness is not the absence of fear but rather the strength to keep on going forward despite the fear.

Paulo Coelho-

Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.

Robert Louis Stevenson-

Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient.

Steve Maraboli-

The strong person is not the good wrestler. Rather, the strong person is the one who controls himself when he is angry.

Anonymous-

You feel your strength in the experience of pain.

Jim Morrison

Be strong. Live honorably and with dignity. When you don’t think you can, hold on.

James Frey-

Bottom line is, even if you see ’em coming, you’re not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we, helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come. You can’t help that. It’s what you do afterwards that counts. That’s when you find out who you are.

Joss Whedon-

The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn.

David Russell-
