Perhaps I am stronger than I think.

Don't wish me happiness - I don't expect to be happy it's gotten beyond that, somehow. Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor - I will need them all.

As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.

Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have.

One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.
