Bei "Mut machen" fällt mir immer wieder der letzte Vers des Liedes "The Rose" ein. Ich bin kein Schnitzeldichter, deshalb die Originalversion:
"When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose"
