Difficulties mastered are opportunities won.

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.

Difficulties come when you don't pay attention to life's whisper. Life always whispers to you first, but if you ignore the whisper, sooner or later you'll get a scream.

What I know for sure is that there is no strength without challenge, adversity, resistance, and often pain.

You're probably on the right track if you feel like a sidewalk worm during a rainstorm.

True heroism consists in rising superior to misfortune.
