Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Be sure that whatever troubles come to you, if you face them with courage, they will pass by as the idle wind, and leave behind the prosperity of which they are only the harbingers.

All through Nature and all through life we see that the things which are gloomy and unpleasant inevitably develop into brightness and happiness.
