Quotes by Ellen Crosby

“We all have a right to our private lives; it's living a secret life that gets us in trouble.”
― Ellen Crosby

0 likes

In the end, she said, the way we handle the tough things life throws at us—adversity, loss, hardship, rejection—is what defines each of us as a human being. Whether we face them with courage and grace and honesty or choose to feel sorry for ourselves, blame someone else, lash out at life’s injustices with anger and cruelty—that’s what makes us who we are.”
