About This Quote
When life’s great storms come, the weak sink, the cowardly jump ship, the strong drop an anchor, and the mighty adjust their sails. Although we may not be as great as those people who can adjust their sails to such a stormy sea, we can still adjust our sails and ride out the storm. Adjusting our sails means putting our own needs aside for a moment and focusing on those who need us. This is the best way to ride out a storm. We may not be as heroic as those who can fight through a storm and survive, but we can be heroic by helping those around us through a difficult time.
