Adventures and Adversities (Tales of Taelis #1) QUOTES

1 " Do you think bravery means to be without fear? You are greatly mistaken. You are brave not because of your lack of fear, but because you did not let that fear stop you. That is what true bravery is. "

― Sarah Holman , Adventures and Adversities (Tales of Taelis #1)

2 " Alditha wondered if perhaps the key [to] contentment was not what they had, but seeing the beauty in what they had already been given. "

― Sarah Holman , Adventures and Adversities (Tales of Taelis #1)

3 " God gave you sadness as well as joy, laughter as well as tears, because he knew that you would need both. He knew that this life would be good and bad and that we would need a way to express both. It was His will that your sister would die. Why? Only He knows, but He does not expect you to pretend to be happy about it. He can handle your tears, even your anger; He is not a weak God. "

― Sarah Holman , Adventures and Adversities (Tales of Taelis #1)

4 " I think God understands our pain better than we think. Crying over a sister or a brother who has died is natural and by no means wrong. We can be comforted to know that even though they are gone, we will see them again when we are all in heaven. "

― Sarah Holman , Adventures and Adversities (Tales of Taelis #1)

5 " I understand that if you focus on what is wrong in your life, that is all you will see." Marian put her hands on Alditha's shoulders. "But if you open your eyes, you will see all the good gifts God has given you. If you continue to see only the bad, you will become bitter and angry. If you decide to see what is good, you will go back to being the smiling girl I grew up with and loved." Alditha swallowed hard. The words of the priest came to her. "This life, though hard, is a gift. Sometimes even I do not understand all of His ways, but I will tell you this; he loves you, and everything he does or does not do is for your good. You simply have to have faith to see it that way. "

― Sarah Holman , Adventures and Adversities (Tales of Taelis #1)

6 " Whatever you do, Alditha, wherever you go, trust God, and never stop smiling. Your life will be hard, and bitterness will be the easiest thing for you to feel. Remember that you serve a God who knew that this would happen before you were born. "

― Sarah Holman , Adventures and Adversities (Tales of Taelis #1)

7 " Who am I? I am a teller of stories. I have lived as a priest, a prince, and a peasant. I have known the heights of joy and the depths of pain. I have known friendship as well as betrayal, hate as well as love. I have served but one God, who has upheld me through my whole life, even in the darkest of moments. "
