“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known

defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out

of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an

understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep

loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
