Quoted By:
“Pray to God for gladness. Be glad as children, as the birds of heaven. And let not the sin of men confound you in your doings. Fear not that it will wear away your work and hinder its being accomplished. Do not say, 'Sin is mighty, wickedness is mighty, evil environment is mighty, and we are lonely and helpless, and evil environment is wearing us away and hindering our good work from being done.' Fly from that dejection, children!”
– Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
No matter how bad things get I go back to the Bible and am reminded of the glorious promises in the Gospels, this light momentary affliction leading to an eternal weight of glory beyond all comprehension (2 Cor 4:16-18).
