    Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Helen Keller   No one's life is a smooth sail; we all come into stormy weather. But it's this adversity - and more specifically our resilience - that makes us strong and successful. Tony Robbins             Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it's less good than the one you had before. You can fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you've lost, or you can accept that and try to put together something that's good. Elizabeth Edwards   Joy, collected over time, fuels resilience - ensuring we'll have reservoirs of emotional strength when hard things do happen. Brené Brown   There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. Edith Wharton   That which does not destroy, strengthens. Friedrich Nietzsche   All the adversity I've had in my life, all my tro...

    “The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”_Elisabeth Kubler-Ross   “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view.”_Harper Lee   “Learning to stand in somebody else's shoes, to see through their eyes, that's how peace begins. And it's up to you to make that happen. Empathy is a quality of character that can change the world.”_Barack Obama   “Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.” Theodore Roosevelt   “Some people think only intellect counts: knowing how to solve problems, knowing how to get by, knowing how to identify an advantage and seize it. But the fun...

  “Economy, prudence, and a simple life are the sure masters of need, and will often accomplish that which, their opposites, with a fortune at hand, will fail to do.”_Clara Barton   “We must expect reverses, even defeats. They are sent to teach us wisdom and prudence, to call forth greater energies, and to prevent our falling into greater disasters.”_Robert E. Lee   “The prudence of the best heads is often defeated by tenderness of the best hearts.”_Henry Fielding   “One column of truth cannot hold an institution of ideas from falling into ignorance. It is wiser that a person of prudence and purpose save his strength for battles that can be won.”_Bryant H.

    Prudence is the virtue by which we discern what is proper to do under various circumstances in time and place. John Milton   Prudence is the knowledge of things to be sought, and those to be shunned. Marcus Tullius Cicero   Prudence is not only the first in rank of the virtues political and moral, but she is the director and regulator, the standard of them all. Edmund Burke   Life is always uncertain, and common prudence dictates to every man the necessity of settling his temporal concerns, while it is in his power, and while the mind is calm and undisturbed. George Washington   Prudence is a necessary ingredient in all the virtues, without which they degenerate into folly and excess.
