Quotes for Getting Through Difficult Time
As we begin another week in quarantine, the Coronavirus Pandemic is affecting millions—both directly and in other ways. It’s important though, that we keep our heads up and remain strong. This doesn’t mean false optimism or burying your head in the sand. Strength comes from staring a problem directly in the face, seeing it for what it is, and concerning ourselves only with those things we have the power to control.
While each of us has a wellspring of strength, we all dredge that strength up in different ways. Some do it through music, others through meditation, and still others by reading and listening to sage advice.
Here are some of the most pertinent and useful aphorisms for helping get through and remain strong in this difficult time.
