I walk firmer and more secure up hill than down.
The greater the difficulty the more glory in surmounting it.
The challenge is never based on the size of the obstacle that stands before me. Rather, it is dictated by the degree of faith that rests within me.
Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.
Peace has its victories no less than war, but it doesn't have as many monuments to unveil.
Until you've lost your reputation you never realize what a burden it was or what freedom really is.
Whatever begun with planning, ends in a victory.
Adversity is the first path to truth.
The harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheaply we esteem too lightly 'tis dearness only that gives everything its value.
He that can't endure the bad will not live to see the good.
Our real blessings often appear to us in the shape of pains, losses and disappointments but let us have patience and we soon shall see them in their proper figures.
