“Tough Times Never Last, but
Tough People Do”

American television evangelist, founder of the crystal
Cathedral and motivational author Dr. Robert H. Schuller
popularized this quote. He used it as the core message and title
of his highly successful self-help and inspirational book by the
same title.

It emphasizes that difficult situations are temporary and, with
resilience and perseverance, you can outlast and overcome any
hardship. There were plenty of tough times in the early years of

Robert Schuller. He was the youngest of five children of a
hardworking Iowa farmer. Through droughts and the Great
Depression, the entire family worked to keep the farm.

Most of us have experienced difficult times in our lives.
However, we are here at St. Anne’s to prove that we made it
through the journey. Yes, our inner strength has taken us
beyond the challenges, and we are better people because of it.
