Resilience & Strength

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.

Fall seven times, stand up eight.

Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors.

What does not kill me makes me stronger.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

The wound is the place where the light enters you.

The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a person perfected without trials.

In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.

Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.

It is not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.

Dripping water hollows out stone, not through force but through persistence.

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul.

The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.

I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took any excuse.
