Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others.

The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success.

Remember your dreams and fight for them. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible:the fear of failure.

The only difference between success and failure is the ability to take action.

Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure.

The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. Whenever evil wins, it is only by default; by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles.

To establish true self-esteem, we must concentrate on our successes and forget about the failures and the negatives in our lives.

I’m not perfect. And who knows how many times I’ve fallen short. We all fall short. That’s the amazing thing about the grace of God.

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.

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.

Success is determined not by whether or not you face obstacles, but by your reaction to them. And if you look at these obstacles as a containing fence, they become your excuse for failure. If you look at them as a hurdle, each one strengthens you for the next.

By prevailing over all obstacles and distractions, one may unfailingly arrive at his chosen goal or destination.

Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

There will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, there are no limits.

Most obstacles melt away when we make up our minds to walk boldly through them.

Against all odds and despite all the obstacles, we are going to make it.

One would think it would be most unwise in a man to be afraid of a skeleton, since Nature has set curious and quite insuperable obstacles to his running away from it.

Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have.

To remain indifferent to the challenges we face is indefensible. If the goal is noble, whether or not it is realized within our lifetime is largely irrelevant. What we must do therefore is to strive and persevere and never give up.
