The scars you share become lighthouses for other people who are headed to the same rocks you hit.
- Jon Acuff

The winter's cold,
But the snow still lightly settles
On the trees.
And a mess is still a moment
I can seize until I know.
That all will be well,
Even though sometimes
This is hard to tell,
And the fine is
Just as frustrating as hell,
All will be well.

- Gabe Dixon

Sometimes you can do everything right and things will still go wrong. The key is to never stop doing right.

- Angie Thomas

Somewhere between what she survived, and who she was becoming, was exactly where she was meant to be. She was starting to love the journey and find the comfort in the quiet corners of her wildest dreams.

They say people don’t change…. Well, she wasn’t always this way. Even if she didn’t change the entire world, she would change her part of it. And she would affect the people she shared it with. A butterfly who’s wings have been touched, can indeed still fly. Whether something was meant to be, or meant to leave, didn’t matter as much anymore. She would soak up the sun, kiss the breeze, and she would fly regardless.

- J.Raymond

Lighthouses don’t go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there shining.
- Anne Lamott

Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

- Hebrews 11:1

To have faith is to have wings.
- J.M. Barrie

Facing it — always facing it — that’s the way to get through.
- Joseph Conrad

When you’re climbing Mount Everest, nothing is easy. You just take one step at a time, never look back and always keep your eyes glued to the top.
- Jacqueline Susann

She is clothed with strength and dignity,
and she laughs without fear of the future.
- Proverbs 31:25

Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.
- Kurt Vonnegut

When I say it's you I like, I'm talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed.
- Fred Rogers, The World According to Mister Rogers

I'm not just a whimsical figure who wears a charming suit and affects a jolly demeanor. You know, I'm a symbol. I'm a symbol of the human ability to be able to suppress the selfish and hateful tendencies that rule the major part of our lives. If you can't believe, if you can't accept anything on faith, then you're doomed for a life dominated by doubt.

- Miracle on 34th Street

Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.
- G.K. Chesterton

Faith is accepting what makes no sense, what we cannot prove, but know down deep in our souls is real.
