Echoes

That which does not kill us makes us stronger.

Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body.

It is difficulties that show what men are.

Man needs difficulties; they are necessary for health.

Difficulties are just things to overcome, after all.

Character is the virtue of hard times.

Through endurance we conquer.

He who endures, conquers.

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

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." … You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

So remember this principle when something threatens to cause you pain: the thing itself was no misfortune at all; to endure it and prevail is great good fortune.

Through hardship to the stars.

The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.

Occasions of adversity best discover how great virtue or strength each one hath. For occasions do not make a man frail, but they show what he is.

The depth of darkness to which you can descend and still live is an exact measure of the height to which you can aspire to reach.

My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.

Sure I am of this, that you have only to endure to conquer. You have only to persevere to save yourselves, and to save all those who rely upon you. You have only to go right on, and at the end of the road, be it short or long, victory and honor will be found.

What cannot be eschewed must be embraced

If you're going through hell, keep going.

I will either find a way or make one.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

Great deeds are usually wrought at great risks.

It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.

Things are not so painful and difficult of themselves, but our weakness or cowardice makes them so.

The man of virtue makes the difficulty to be overcome his first business, and success only a subsequent consideration.
