Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.

He who suffers in patience, surfers less and saves his soul. He who suffers impatiently, suffers more and loses his soul.

Patience is a fruit that only grows under trials.

If God has made your cup sweet, drink it with grace; if He has made it bitter, drink it in communion with Him.

We stood and watched as God abandoned us, and then we did the best we could.

To bear all kinds of tortures without a murmur of resentment is not possible for a human being without the strength that comes from God.
