If the human heart sometimes finds moments of pause as it ascends the slopes of affection, it rarely halts on the way down.

About This Quote

There are times in life when all we can do is stare at the ground and wonder what hit us. In these moments, we may feel like our world has come to a full stop or that we have been shot in the chest. We may feel like there is no hope for us anymore. But these moments end and we begin again.

That’s all that matters. The fact that we get up and try again, that’s what brings the greatest glory in living.
