Quotes About Gives

Here's the thing about faith: It gives us the strength to go on when we want to give in. It gives us the courage to get up when we want to lie down. It gives us the power to make a way out of no way when there ain't no way.

But with it, we don't need to. Because with it we can ride the surf.

This is the culmination of thought mastery.
