Every one of us gets through the tough times because somebody is there, standing in the gap to close it for us.

True heroism consists in rising superior to misfortune.

Everybody has goals, aspirations or whatever, and everybody has been at a point in their life where nobody believed in them...But when I say I'm going to do something, I have to do it.

Difficulties break some men but make others. No axe is sharp enough to cut the soul of a sinner who keeps on trying, one armed with the hope that he will rise even in the end.

Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new center of gravity. Don't fight them. Just find a new way to stand.

Adversity makes you stronger, don't give in, don't back down, and never stop doing what you know is right. Nothing worth doing, ever ever ever came easy, and the more righteous you fight, the more opposition that you will face. I've accomplished a tremendous amount, in a very short time as president.
