“You have been told that, even like a chain, you are as weak as your weakest link. This is but half the truth. You are also as strong as your strongest link. To measure you by your smallest deed is to reckon the power of ocean by the frailty of its foam.”
― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

“The circumstance is not of consequence, but how you react to it is. Being still and doing nothing are two very different things.”
― J.L. Brown, Don't Speak

“Fear, with a capital ‘F,’ is the real thing. He’s a vicious, merciless prick that knocks you on your ass and shrieks that he can, and will, take everything from you, forever. He’s a hurricane that pummels you and all you can do is hold on and try to wait him out, praying he will go away.”
― Emelle Gamble, Secret Sister

“When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And When his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And When he speaks to you believe in him, Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden. For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.”
― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
