Echoes

Optimism is true moral courage.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement; nothing can be done without hope.

Keep your face always toward the sunshine — and shadows will fall behind you.

Difficulties are just things to overcome, after all.

While I breathe, I hope.

Never despair.

Through endurance we conquer.

Hope is the dream of a waking man.

Perseverance and spirit have done wonders in all ages.

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

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.

He who endures, conquers.

They are never alone that are accompanied with noble thoughts.

Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.

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

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

All life is problem-solving.

I will either find a way or make one.

That which does not kill us makes us stronger.

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.

What cannot be eschewed must be embraced

Kites rise highest against the wind, not with it.

Man needs difficulties; they are necessary for health.

Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body.
