A Quote From James Buckham

My girlfriend loves this quote from James Buckham and carries it with her. This is excellent.

Trials, temptations, disappointments--all these are helps instead of hindrances, if one uses them rightly.

They not only test the fiber of a character, but strengthen it.

Every conquered temptation represents a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before.
