Why, then, should we ever sink overwhelmed with distress, when life is so soon over, and death is so certain an entrance to happiness — to glory?

About This Quote

When people are in trouble or even in fear, they often ask themselves whether that pain or fear was worth it. They consider whether they would rather feel that pain or fear again, knowing full well what it will lead to, than live out their lives with freedom and happiness. This quote answers that question. The quote says that no matter how bad things get, there is always another way to get through them. It might be hard to see it right now, but if you keep pushing on through the things that you cannot control, you will find the light at the end of the tunnel.
