The true test of a character is to face hard conditions with the determination to make them better.
A bend in the road is not the end of the road…Unless you fail to make the turn.
Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
Be of good cheer. Do not think of today's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere; and you will find a joy in overcoming obstacles. Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost.
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
The place between your comfort zone and your dream is where life takes place.
Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.
Better to be blind and see with your heart, than to have two good eyes and see nothing.
I can say with conviction that the struggle which evil necessitates is one of the greatest blessings. It makes us strong, patient, helpful men and women. It lets us into the soul of things and teaches us that although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcomings of it. My optimism, then, does not rest on the absence of evil, but on a glad belief in the preponderance of good and a willing effort always to cooperate with the good, that it may prevail.
I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.
I'm not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.
