Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength. It does not enable us to escape evil. It makes us unfit to face evil when it comes. It is the interest you pay on trouble before it comes.
Willpower is the key to success. Successful people strive no matter what they feel by applying their will to overcome apathy, doubt or fear.
It is worth remembering that the time of greatest gain in terms of wisdom and inner strength is often that of greatest difficulty.
Your inner strength is invulnerable to fear.
Perseverance is another word for faith!
Make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up.
There is no obstacle too great, no challenge too difficult, if we have faith.
You can’t build a great building on a weak foundation.
Courage will now be your best defence against the storm that is at hand- – that and such hope as I bring.
Life is rough so you gotta be tough.
Spending time with God is the key to our strength and success in all areas of life. Be sure that you never try to work God into your schedule, but always work your schedule around Him.
Be like the rocky headland on which the waves constantly break. It stands firm, and round it the seething waters are laid to rest.
Let your failures refine you, not define you.
It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.
The great challenge is to refuse to let the bad things that happen to us do bad things to us. That is the crucial difference between adversity and tragedy.
Being brave doesn’t mean you aren’t scared. Being brave means you are scared, really scared, badly scared, and you do the right thing anyway.
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.
Life will get in the way. Count on it. Be prepared for it. Maintain focus and press on towards your goal.
I always believe if you’re stuck in a hole and maybe things aren’t going well you will come out stronger. Everything in life is this way.
