Cushion the Painful Effects

"Cushion the painful effects of hard blows
by keeping the enthusiasm going strong,
even if doing so requires struggle."

*-- Norman Vincent Peale


"I always try to turn my personal struggles
into something helpful for others."

*-- Henri Nouwen


"You are to gather up the joys and sorrows,
the struggles, the beauty, love, dreams
and hopes of every hour that they may be
consecrated at the altar of daily life."

*-- MacRina Wiederkehr
