Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us.
You fail only if you stop writing.
A professional writer is an amateur who didn’t quit.
Remember how far you’ve come, not just how far you have to go. You are not where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be.
You will never win if you never begin.
Every time you quit, someone else gets your prize. Every time you make a mistake, you get closer to yours.
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.
I can’t go on. I’ll go on.
One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. Three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don’t throw it away.
The victim should have the right to end his life, if he wants. But I think it would be a great mistake. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there’s life, there is hope.
If you don’t have a passion, you’ll give up.
Give up all desire for enjoyment in earth or heaven. Control the organs of the senses and control the mind. Bear every misery without even knowing that you are miserable. Think of nothing but spiritual freedom.
For us, there is only the trying. The rest is not our business.
Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream, and the world will not grind you under; it will lift you up.
Never say ‘I failed 99 times’, say ‘I discovered 99 ways that cause failure!’
Permanence, perseverance, and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragements, and impossibilities: It is these qualities that distinguish the strong soul from the weak.
If you can make it through the night, there’s a brighter day.
Never surrender; it’s all about the faith that you got.
To succeed, work hard, never give up and above all cherish a magnificent obsession.
To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.
