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.
(pl. ) of Victory
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.
There could be no honor in a sure success, but much might be wrested from a sure defeat.
If we survive danger it steels our courage more than anything else.
From a fallen tree make kindling.
If your house is on fire warm yourself by it.
The virtue of adversity is fortitude which in mortals is the heroical virtue.
Victory is sweetest when you've known defeat.
Sacrifices will make you a martyr, victories will make you a hero.
To conquer without risk is to triumph without glory.
Let us not be needlessly bitter: certain failures are sometimes fruitful.
When we are only victorious over small things, it leaves us feeling small.
