Echoes

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

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

Through endurance we conquer.

He who endures, conquers.

All is ephemeral — fame and the famous as well.

Difficulties are just things to overcome, after all.

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.

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

I am a slow walker, but I never walk back.

The quality I look for most is optimism: especially optimism in the face of reverses and apparent defeat.

Energy and persistence conquer all things.

There are some defeats more triumphant than victories.

Perseverance and spirit have done wonders in all ages.

It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.

Relentless toil conquers all.

He that can have patience can have what he will.

Never give in — never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

I assert once again as a truth to which history as a whole bears witness that men may second their fortune, but cannot oppose it; that they may weave its warp, but cannot break it. Yet they should never give up, because there is always hope, though they know not the end and more towards it along roads which cross one another and as yet are unexplored; and since there is hope, they should not despair, no matter what fortune brings or in what travail they find themselves.

Through hardship to the stars.

Life is a journey, not a destination.

I will either find a way or make one.

The lion who breaks the enemy's ranks is a minor hero compared to the lion who overcomes himself.
