The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known
struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

    The belief in the inner beauty of each and every human being is at the heart of all true education and at the heart of being human... When we reveal to people our belief in them, their hidden beauty rises to the surface where it may be more clearly seen by all. ~Jean Vanier, Becoming Human

    On a secular level I like "A ship in a harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for."

    On a Christian level I couldn't begin to name them. One that just came to mind is "For we walk by faith, not by sight." 2 Cor 5:7

    And this one really helps me in the diet world "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed." 2 Cor 4:8-9

    I'm loving this topic. This one reminds me of:

    "To forgive is to set the prisoner free, and then to realize that all along the prisoner was me."
