Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air.

From Romans 5:3-5:  “And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.”
