“In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.” – Robert Frost

Every day you are faced with a new challenge in your life. Sometimes you can feel a little lost and need to seek the wisdom of friends and families. However, they don’t always know the right words to say because they have never dealt with a similar situation and have no idea what you are feeling or going through.

It can make it difficult to cope with problems in life when you have nowhere to turn. Fortunately, nearly every situation you are faced with has been presented to somebody else before you. Wise men and women have offered up their own bits of wisdom that can help lift you up and carry you through difficult times.
