" A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without his trials" - Chinese Proverb
3 Ye cannot behold with your natural eyes, for the present time, the design of your God concerning those things which shall come hereafter, and the glory which shall follow after much tribulation.
4 For after much tribulation come the blessings. Wherefore the day cometh that ye shall be crowned with much glory; the hour is not yet, but is nigh at hand
(Doctrine & Covenants Chapter 58)
