It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.

About This Quote

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. We can rise from a fall, but it takes a lot of effort and over a long period of time. It is much easier to let ourselves be wounded, to accept that we have been wounded, and to allow it to heal. We can also rise from a wound, but it takes a lot of effort and over a long period of time.

It is much easier to let ourselves be wounded, to accept that we have been wounded, and to allow the wound to heal. That's what we all want: we want others around us to rise from their wounds and also want to rise from our own wounds.
