“I am fighting for that. I want to take my place in the promise. A thousand years from now, no one will remember my name. I will be no great hero, immortalized by poets. But I will be one of a long line of men and women who stood on God's promises and contended for this faith. I don't want to run just because it's hard.”
― Tessa Afshar, The Peasant King

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“I will thank Him for all that He has given me, not curse Him for all that I've lost.”
― Lynn Austin, Among the Gods

“Anyone can believe and sing praises on the Temple Mount when the sun is shining, but true praise is sung in the darkest valley when the Accuser tells you to curse God for making you suffer so much pain.”
― Lynn Austin, Faith of My Fathers
