Strength for Haiti

I saw today that there has been another earthquake in Haiti, only 8 days after the first one shattered Port-au-Prince to the ground. This second one is about 30-40 miles outside of the capitol city and struck at a 6.1. Here's an article about the latest Haiti news.
I have selected the quote below because it is positive, and it continues to shed light on how those who survive these earthquakes in Haiti will hopefully be made stronger for it.  Those who go to help and heal the persons injured and ill will be made stronger for it.  I hope in some small way this quote will bring about some free-writing, and all those prayers and good thoughts for the health and strength of Haitians will be sent.
"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'" - Eleanor Roosevelt
