Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.
A constant struggle, a ceaseless battle to bring success from inhospitable surroundings, is the price of all great achievements.
When life seems hard, the courageous do not lie down and accept defeat; instead, they are all the more determined to struggle for a better future.
Be brave! Be strong! Be fearless! Once you have taken up the spiritual life, fight as long as there is any life in you. Even though you know you are going to be killed, fight till you “are killed.” Don’t die of fright. Die fighting. Don’t go down till you are knocked down.
I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of the strenuous life.
So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.
Mental toughness is essential to success.
The world is yours and everything in it, it’s out there- get on your grind and get it.
Every day I’m hustlin’.
Life is getting up one more time than you’ve been knocked down.
I don’t have talent. I have tenacity.
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
The wall! Your success is on the other side. Can’t jump over it or go around it. You know what to do.
Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Never give up and always keep fighting, because though times may be tough, the sacrifices do pay off, so just keep pushing towards your dream and just love it at the same time and enjoy it.
Hard days are the best because that’s when champions are made.
How to succeed? Try hard enough.
Defeat doesn’t finish a man, quit does. A man is not finished when he’s defeated. He’s finished when he quits.
The only time we fail is when we stop trying.
When nothing seems to help, I go look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it.
