"no pain that w3e suffe, no rrial that we experience is wasted. it minsiters to our education, to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitued, and humility. all that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently butlds up our chareacter, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and caritable, more worthy to be caled the childrent of God... and it is through sorrow and sufferin, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education taht we come here to acquire and which will make us more like our Father and Mother in heaven"

"how can you and i really expect to glide naively though live, as if to say "Lord, give me expeience, but not grief not sorrow, not pain, not opposition, not betrayal, and certainly not to be forsaken. keep from me Lord, all those experiences which made Thee what Thou art! then, let me come and dwell with Thee and fully share Thy joy!"

"my life is but a weaving between my God and me;
i cannot choose the colours He worketh steadily.
oftimes He weaveth sorrow, and i in foolish pride,
forget that He seeth the upper, and i the underside.
not till the loom is silent and the shuttles cease to fly,
shall God unroll the canvas and explain the reasons why.
the dark threads are as needful as in the weaver's skillfull hand,
as the threads of gold and silver in the pattern He has planned"
~from in the book "5 scriptures to pull you through almost anything when times are tough" by John Bytheway

"if we only knew it, heavenly hosts are pulling for us-- friends in heaven that we cannot now remember who yearn for our victory. this is our day to show what we can do-- what life and sacrafice we can daily, hourly, instantly make for God. if we give ouir all, we will get His all from the greatest of all."

Truly a question for the ages.
And a bonus quote:
