“I know it seems hard sometimes but remember one thing. Through every dark night, there's a bright day after that. So no matter how hard it get, stick your chest out, keep ya head up…. and handle it.”

“Put your head down and work hard. Never wait for things to happen, make them happen for yourself through hard graft and not giving up.”

“It was getting hard to keep all the things I didn't know inside me.”

“You have a hollowed out heart, but it's heavy in your chest
I try so hard to fight it, but it's hopeless
You're hopeless.”

“How fast we learn in the day of sorrow! Scripture shines out in a new effulgence; every verse seems to contain a sunbeam, every promise stands out in illuminated splendor; things hard to be understood become in a moment plain.”

“No matter how hard you work to bring yourself up, there's someone out there working just as hard, to put you down. ”

“It's all going to go sometime. You can't take it with you. I'm not saying you should wake up every day with sunshine streaming out of your head. If I could get one day a month, I would be very grateful. But I don't want to sound like I'm complaining. I'm just figuring certain things out. It's taken me a while, and some things I could probably do without knowing.”

“It was the possibility of darkness that made the day seem so bright.”

“It's not how hard you hit. It's how hard you get hit…and keep moving forward.”

“Time keeps movin' on,
Friends they turn away.
I keep movin' on
But I never found out why
I keep pushing so hard the dream,
I keep tryin to make it right
Through another lonely day, whoaa.”
