"Occasions of adversity best discover how great virtue each one has. For occasions do not make a man frail, but they show of what sort he is." - Thomas A. Kempis, The Imitation of Christ.
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him" James 1:2-4, 12
