In every challenge lives a greater opportunity.

The obstacle in the path becomes that path. Never forget, within every obstacle is an opportunity to improve our condition.

You don’t develop courage by being happy in your relationships everyday. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.

I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it—but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.

Put your greatest possession on the tallest shelf, so if you fall you have something to reach for.

I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.

Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that setbacks and griefs which endure help us in our march forward.

A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships.

Not all storms come to disrupt your life. Some come to clear your path.

To succeed, jump as quickly as opportunity as you do at conclusions.

The meeting of preparation with opportunity generates the offspring we call luck.

Opportunities don’t often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them.

Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn.

If there is anything in the world a person should fight for, it is freedom to pursue his ideal, because in that is his great opportunity for self-expression, for the unfoldment of the greatest thing possible to him.

Limitations are merely opportunities to grow. I use them as stepping stones to success.
