If you do not understand that character development is an important process of life, you may be tempted to give up when things get tough. ... What you do when your back is against the wall speaks volumes about the nature of your character. (Iyanla Vanzant, Until Today!, 1 August)
Wealth reminds me of manure in the field. When it is in a big pile it makes a bad smell. But when it is distributed everywhere across the field, it makes the soil better. (Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar of Wisdom, 31 July)
It is not the experience of today that drives us mad. It is the remorse or bitterness for something that happened yesterday or the dread of what tomorrow may bring. Let us therefore do our best to live but one day at a time. (Alan L. Roeck, Look To This Day, 31 July)
How can we expect life to bless and support when we stay one thing, think something else, and feel a completely different way. (Iyanla Vanzant, Faith in the Valley, p. 230)
