There are moments when life seems to change without warning. One day, everything appears calm. The next, a setback, betrayal, failure or loss can leave us wondering how we are supposed to move forward. But perhaps character is not revealed during the easy days. Perhaps it is revealed when everything becomes difficult.
That is the powerful idea behind today's quote from Alexandre Dumas, the legendary French author whose stories gave the world some of literature's most memorable tales of revenge, courage and survival.
