I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.
The phoenix must burn to emerge.
The one thing you can’t take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me. The last of one’s freedoms is to choose one’s attitude in any given circumstance.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king.
The best revenge is massive success.
Give up trying to make me give up.
When life is sweet, say thank you and celebrate. And when life is bitter, say thank you and grow.
By perseverance the snail reached the ark.
Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it’s less good than the one you had before. You can fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you’ve lost, or you can accept that and try to put together something that’s good.
The test of success is not what you do when you are on top. Success is how high you bounce when you hit the bottom.
You never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only choice.
I do the very best I know how, the very best I can, and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.
Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgement that something is more important than fear; The brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all.
I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.
Everything works out in the end. If it hasn’t worked out yet, then it’s not the end.
Recognize reality even when you don’t like it – especially when you don’t like it.
Assume life will be really tough, and then ask if you can handle it. If the answer is yes, you’ve won.
Throw me to the wolves and I will return leading the pack.
Sometimes I don’t feel good, but when you get in the ring, you can’t say “oh, I feel bad, can we stop?”
