My most favorite quote is simple and powerful: “Never Give Up”. Whatever the troubles, they are just passing clouds. Patience always wins over power, so it’s important to hang in there and work toward bringing the better day closer. After all, what’s the point if you don’t fight with everything you’ve got?
