“Every hardship; every joy; every temptation is a challenge of the spirit; that the human soul may prove itself.”
“I do not break or bleed, with tears and tenderness of heart, I absorb hard lessons. Sense far beyond present places. See scars turned to maps of where I've been and how far I have come. They will tell how I arrived ripe in my own center still full of juice and joy.”
Elizabeth Vega
“There is no success without hardship.”
