finding hope in difficult times Quotes

No matter how difficult the trial... we can take comfort in knowing that others before us have borne life's most grievous trials and tragedies by looking to heaven.

It's easy to fight when everything's right And you're mad with the thrill and the glory; It's easy to cheer when victory's near, And wallow in fields that are gory.

I have hope for you, if only because you're the only one left to hope for.

No darkness lasts forever. And even there, there are stars.
