"No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, 
or opened a new doorway for the human spirit."  - Helen Keller
"To laugh often and love much . . to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to give of one's self . . this is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability to survive. You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity. Such knowledge is a true gift . . it is painfully won, and it has been worth more to me than any qualification I ever earned. - J. K. Rowling
