"It takes courage to smile during difficult times." We must not let difficulty affect our smiles. We must let our smiles affect our difficulties.

"We must have our eyes and ears focused on the truth, rather than being blinded and deafened by falsehood. " The truth opens blinded eyes, so that they can see. It also opens deafened ears, so that they can hear. Falsehood blinds seeing eyes, so that they cannot see; falsehood also deafens hearing ears, so that they cannot hear.
