Unity is strength… when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved.

Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle.

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.

A strong woman is a woman determined to do something others are determined not be done.

My mother is a strong woman. Her strength comes from being tested by life’s unpredictability. It comes from soldiering on for her children, even when she might rather have given up. I know it hasn’t always come easily, but I also know it’s her greatest gift.

I never said I wanted a ‘happy’ life but an interesting one. From separation and loss, I have learned a lot. I have become strong and resilient, as is the case of almost every human being exposed to life and to the world. We don’t even know how strong we are until we are forced to bring that hidden strength forward.

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.
