Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict. —William Ellery Channing

Love this quote.
Susan Schommer from Clermont, Florida SEPTEMBER 28, 2018
I broadcast your wonderful materials over our closed circuit TV station, I'm at an elementary school. Everything is so well done! It makes our broadcast look so professional. Thank you very much!

Here are some other inspiring quotes you might like.
I don’t like to gamble, but if there’s one thing I’m willing to bet on, it’s myself. #<Author:0x00007f5cb27012a8>
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
We must take personal responsibility. We cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but we can change ourselves. #<Author:0x00007f5cb1f53538>
RESPONSIBILITY
A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties. #<Author:0x00007f5cb2739400>
OPTIMISM
For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone. #<Author:0x00007f5cb2723bc8>
TRUE BEAUTY
Each of us can look back upon someone who made a great difference in our lives, someone whose wisdom or simple acts of caring made an impression upon us. In all likelihood it was someone who sought no recognition for their deed other than the joy of knowing that, by their hand, another's life had been made better. #<Author:0x00007f5cb2710a28>
HELPING OTHERS
True forgiveness is when you can say ‘Thank you for that experience’. #<Author:0x00007f5cb275a8a8>
FORGIVENESS
There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when it's convenient. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses - only results. #<Author:0x00007f5cb27488b0>
COMMITMENT
There’s something very freeing about losing the anchors that have always defined you. Frightening, sad, but exhilarating in a poignant way, as well. You’re free to float to the moon and evaporate or sink to the bottom of the deepest ocean. But you’re free to explore. Some people confuse that with drifting, I suppose. I like to think of it as growing. #<Author:0x00007f5cb2792550>
SPREAD YOUR WINGS
Still, like air, I rise. #<Author:0x00007f5cb277a748>
RISING ABOVE
Have patience with all things, but, first of all with yourself. #<Author:0x00007f5cb27c3ce0>
PATIENCE
Love is the the most radically subversive activism of all, the only thing that ever changed anyone. #<Author:0x00007f5cb27b1b30>
LOVE
Only when we're brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light. #<Author:0x00007f5cb27fb820>
BRAVERY
The truth of your character is expressed through the choice of your actions. #<Author:0x00007f5cb27e9760>
CHARACTER
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. #<Author:0x00007f5cb27d3820>
PEACE
It is man's social nature which distinguishes him from the brute creation. If it is his privilege to be independent, it is equally his duty to be inter-dependent. Only an arrogant man will claim to be independent of everybody else and be self-contained. #<Author:0x00007f5cb330cf20>
CONNECTION
A smile starts on the lips, a grin spreads to the eyes, a chuckle comes from the belly; but a good laugh bursts forth from the soul, overflows, and bubbles all around. #<Author:0x00007f5cb280b680>
