Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving; we get stronger and more resilient.

"Life, the Truth, and Being Free"
Don’t hate life and death or love life and death. Keep your every thought free of delusion, and in life you’ll witness the beginning of nirvana, and in death you’ll experience the assurance of no rebirth.
Life has been compared with a battle and rightly so, as each day comes up with a new set of challenges which we must meet. One cannot just shy away from problems if he has to survive. He has to meet to challenges with courage.
Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
If there's a thing I've learned in my life, it's to not be afraid of the responsibility that comes with caring for other people. What we do for love: those things endure. Even if the people you do them for, don't.
-Cassandra Clare
Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren't. I'm not surprised some people prefer books.
-Julian Barnes
"Flaubert's Parrot"
There is not a particle of life which does not bear poetry within it.
-Gustave Flaubert
I'm not saying it's going to be easy. Nothing in life is easy. But that's no reason to give up. You'll be surprised what you can accomplish if you set your mind to it. After all, you only have one life, so you should try to make the most of it.
-Louis Sachar
"Holes"
Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.
-Benjamin Franklin
