Martha Beck All spiritual growth takes place by leaps and bounds, both in the individual and, as here, in the community. The crisis is to be regarded as a nexus of growth. Jacob Burckhardt Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape. William S. Burroughs Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all. Dale Carnegie Crises refine life.

Norman Cousins It is a fact of life that we find ourselves in unpleasant demoralizing situations which we can neither escape nor control. We can keep our morale and spirits high by using both coping and hoping humor. Coping humor laughs at the hopelessness in our situation. It gives us the courage to hang in there, but it does not bring hope. The uniqueness of hoping humor lies in its acceptance of life with all its dichotomies, contradictions, and incongruities. It celebrates the hope in human life. From one comes courage, from the other comes inspiration. Cy Eberhart Deep unspeakable suffering may well be called a baptism, a regeneration, the initiation into a new state.

Just lie down. Natalie Goldberg To accomplish much you must first lose everything. Ernesto "Che" Guevara Strength and courage aren't always measured in medals and victories. They are measured in the struggles they overcome. The strongest people aren't always the people who win, but the people who don't give up when they lose. Ashley Hodgeson Every area of trouble gives out a ray of hope; and the one unchangeable certainty is that nothing is certain or unchangeable. John Fitzgerald Kennedy When written in Chinese, the word crisis is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity.

It is tied to places and events and histories. With all of these felt details, life etches itself into memory and personality. It's difficult to imagine anything more nourishing to the soul. Thomas Moore It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light. Aristotle Onassis Consider calling it a challenge rather than calling it a crisis. Mary Anne Radmacher Life does not accommodate you; it shatters you. Every seed destroys its container, or else there would be no fruition. Florida Scott-Maxwell This, too, shall pass. William Shakespeare Disappointment often focuses on the failure of our own agenda rather than on God's long-term purposes for us, which may use stress and struggle as tools for strengthening our spiritual muscles. Luci Shaw At every crisis in one's life, it is absolute salvation to have some sympathetic friend to whom you can think aloud without restraint or misgiving.
