quotes for difficult times
Every problem has a gift for you in its hands. Richard Bach
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.

They are the questions asked most frequently and answered most inadequately, the ones that reveal their true natures slowly, reluctantly, most often against your will. Ingrid Bengis
There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self. Aldous Huxley
The only people who find yesterdays satisfying are those who see no better tomorrows. Byron Pulsifer The easiest thing to do, whenever you fail, is to put yourself down by blaming your lack of ability for your misfortunes. Washington Irving
