Good timber does not grow with ease. The stronger the wind the stronger the trees.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that growth and strength often require perseverance and overcoming challenges. Just as good timber, or strong wood, cannot be found without difficulty, individuals also become stronger through facing hardships. The analogy of stronger trees in the face of strong winds symbolizes that adversities can actually give rise to resilience and fortitude. It suggests that obstacles and struggles should not discourage us, but rather inspire us to grow and develop a stronger character as a result.
