It is in deep waters that God teaches us to swim.

Wounds are life's trophies for enduring trials.

Life is an endless trial and death its certain verdict, but there are many recesses to enjoy before then.

A star will shine in the midst of darkness.
A flower will bloom in the midst of dirt.
A camel will flourish in the midst of drought.
A diamond will form in the midst of pressure.
A champion will rise in the midst of hardship.

Life is a sage’s university; hardship is his professor.

Pain in the wilderness is an investment in pleasure in the Promised Land.
