“The important and decisive factor in life is not what happens to us, but the attitude we take toward what happens. The surest revelation of one’s character is the way one bears one’s suffering. Circumstances and situations may color life, but by the grace of God, we have been given the power to choose what that color shall be. The effect that misfortune, handicap, sickness, and sorrow have upon life is determined by the way in which we meet them.”

– Charles R. Woodson
