Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened.
From 1 Timothy 2:2-4: “So that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity. This is right and is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
