1 " So let those people go on weeping and wailing whose self-indulgent minds have been weakened by long prosperity, let them collapse at the threat of the most trivial injuries; but let those who have spent all their years suffering disasters endure the worst afflictions with a brave and resolute staunchness. Everlasting misfortune does have one blessing, that it ends up by toughening those whom it constantly afflicts. "
― Seneca , On the Shortness of Life
2 " Whatever doesn't destroy you, makes you stronger. Hardships have a way of toughening us, if they don't kill us. "
― V.C. Andrews , Pearl in the Mist (Landry, #2)
