Trials, Temptations, Disappointments



Trials, temptations, disappointments...all these are helps instead of hindrances, if one uses them rightly.  They not only test the fibre of a character, but strengthen it.  Every conquered temptation represents a new fund of moral energy.  Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before.
