Richard Paul Evans Quotes

If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today

I do not believe that true optimism can come about except through tragedy.

I like to keep my issues drawn, it's always darkest before the dawn.

At the end of every hard day, people find some reason to believe.

Wherever there's hope there's a trial.

Hope itself is like a star- not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity.

My life is a beautiful struggle.

Have a little faith, kick a little dirt.

If matters go badly now, they will not always be so.

Nothing is ever as bad as it seems. Nor does it ever last as long as you think.

Through all the hardships and all the operations and all the hospitals, all that stuff each part of my life, there's been some goodness, some greatness that comes in here and helps me to be strong, to continue what I'm doing.

Never lose hope under adverse situations.

I've always said, 'Before you see the rainbow, it has to storm.'

To me, faith is being thankful when things in life are going well and also being thankful when they are not. Its often through our most difficult times when faith lifts us up and gives us the courage and the strength to work even harder to accomplish a new goal or do something we never thought we could.

In spite of everything life is not without hope.

Hard times may have held you down, but they will not last forever. When all is said and done, you will be increased.

Every storm runs out of rain, just like every dark night turns into day.

It seems that once you achieve something large, the target on your back grows. But I always want to look at life as the glass is half full versus half empty. My father taught me this at an early age - that God is faithful (Romans 8:28), and that in the midst of hardship or attack, God has your back.

If it weren't for the dark days, we wouldn't know what it is to walk in the light.

However dark our lot may be, there is light enough on the other side of the cloud.

Because the road is rough and long, Should we despise the skylark's song?

But it's just because the chances are all against you, just because there is so little hope, that life is sweet over here.

The ups and downs, the problems and stress, along with all the happiness, have given me optimism and hope because I am living proof of survival.
