Adversity

Out of love and hatred, out of earnings and borrowings and leadings and losses; out of sickness and pain; out of wooing and worshipping; out of traveling and voting and watching and caring; out of disgrace and contempt, comes our tuition in the serene and beautiful laws.
- Emerson, Ralph Waldo

We must pass through the darkness, to reach the light.
Pike, Albert
