It's not up to us what we learn, but merely whether we learn through joy or through pain. ~John Updike

If it is true that strength is the child of effort and pain, then most of us will have the opportunity to learn strength. . . . Effort is standing up to the storm. Pain comes from enduring the worst the storm can throw at us. But then so does strength. ~Joseph M. Marshall III
