I saw this quote from Harriet Beecher Stowe ...

[1StrongBlackMan]

in another thread.

When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.”

I like it and it reminded me of two plaques I read the other day:

"It is not about weathering the storm ... It's about learning to dance in the rain."

"You'd be surprised how strong you are ... Until being strong is your only option."
