Extreme Devotion Quotable - Brother Shimanov

One of the things I personally enjoy about the Internet and social media, is the opportunity to read wonderful quotes from people.  As the Lord would have it, in today's Extreme Devotion email, the following quote was sent.  Inspiring!

Do you have a favorite quote?  Please leave it in our comments.

The craziness, anxieties about my family, the constant tension all destroy me. But if they drive me mad or if I remain sane, I accept everything God sends, as a child accepts everything from the hand of his father. Cowardice is unreasonable. In the asylum, I have often thought that the will of God keeps intact the freedom of man.
