“Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, but only saps today of its strength.”
A.J. Cronin

“That is life... to begin again when everything is lost!”
A. J. Cronin
tags: life

“Life is no straight and easy corridor along which we travel free and unhampered, but a maze of passages, through which we must seek our way, lost and confused, now and again checked in a blind alley.
But always, if we have faith, a door will open for us, not perhaps one that we ourselves would ever have thought of, but one that will ultimately prove good for us”
A.J. Cronin
