Sometimes adversity is what you need to face in order to become successful.
Zig Ziglar
It is only to the happy that tears are a luxury.
Thomas Moore
Life is but a walking Shadow, a poor Player That struts and frets his Hour upon the Stage, And then is heard no more; It is a tall Tale, Told by an Idiot, full of Sound and Fury, Signifying nothing.'
William Shakespeare, Macbeth, Act V, Scene V (MacBeth)
