"Take courage, and turn troubles which you cannot remedy into material for progress and maturity." - Saint Francis de Sales
This seems like it could be his version of a quote we often hear in these times - "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." In either case, though, it calls for prayer and discernment on how to turn apparent obstacles into opportunities.
Related to this is a quote by the prolific writer, Anonymous: "The difference between stumbling blocks and stepping stones is how you use them."
Also related is a quotation attributed to Thomas Edison: "Results? Why, man, I have gotten lots of results! If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is often a step forward. . . ."
