...contentment, a state of inner peace separate from our circumstances. Ultimately, contentment is more a shift in attitude than a change in circumstances.
-Linda Dillow
The ultimate measure of a man in not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
-Martin Luther King Jr.
We do not serve a distant and detached God who spouts encouraging cliches safely from the sideline. Instead, he enters into our suffering. Jesus did it in the Incarnation and his Spirit does it in us now. God will never leave us alone in our suffering.
-Rick Warren

-A.W. Tozer
Comfort and prosperity have never enriched the world as much as adversity has.
-Billy Graham
Be kinder than necessary, because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
