It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place.
If I quit, however, it lasts forever.” -Lance Armstrong

Pain can’t stop me. It makes me feel how good it was when there was no pain and I won’t allow pain to get me down because the Lord will never give me more than I can stand.
