I have two favorite quotes. One is by Abraham Lincoln
"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power"
As to why. I admire a person who walks upright and with integrity and does not compromise themselves or their beliefs no matter the circumstances.
The other quote is from Michael J Fox's book "Always Looking Up"
"So, sure, it may be one step forward and two steps back, but after a
time with Parkinson's, I've learned that what is important is making
that one step count; always looking up."
It is important to make that one step count, to not beat your self up over the two steps back, no matter the circumstances. I have faced some dire circumstances myself and have always found myself striving to live this way even before I read his book and found this awesome quote.
