 A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity;
an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
– Winston S. Churchill

Difficulties belong to the spices of life. All people face difficulty but we differ on how to react when it strikes too hard. ?

“If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals”
– Sirius Black, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

I love how a book about wizards could make you think so deeply about race, politics, and power.

Winnie the Pooh just has so many good quotes! It's hard to pick just one.

My other favorite is from Wicked (one of my favorite musicals).
“Are people born wicked? Or do they have wickedness thrust upon them?”
― Glinda Wicked the Musical
I love the Winnie the Pooh quote! It is so very true

We shape our heaven or hell by our actions on earth.
- McDowell by William H. Coles

This quote is also taught in religion classes both in Christianity and in Islam. I don't have any idea of other religions' beliefs about this topic though.

This quote could make us do good to attain heaven or repent whenever we commit something opposite. However, if our hearts are hardened, we tend to forget about it.
