You measure the size of the accomplishment by the obstacles you have to overcome to reach your goals.

Half-finished work generally proves to be labor lost.

Without some goals and some efforts to reach it, no man can live.

There is nothing in the world that empowers a human being to overcome external difficulties or internal hardships so much as the awareness that one has a task in life.

As a rule, we find what we look for; we achieve what we get ready for.

The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting and achieving goals.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Plant seeds of expectation in your mind; cultivate thoughts that anticipate achievement. Believe in yourself as being capable of overcoming all obstacles and weaknesses.

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