Personal Quote / Scripture:
The Lord’s bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, 2 Timothy 2:24 NASB

“The strongest oak tree of the forest is not the one that is protected from the storm and hidden from the sun. It is the one that stands in open where it is compelled to struggle for its existence against the winds and the rains and the scorching sun.” -Napoleon Hill
