Today my quotes are on perseverance. I decided to post these quotes because despite a happy and strong exterior I have most of the time, there are times I just want to give up. Whether it be because I am just tired or because someone is trying to get to me, it’s hard not to have feelings of “I just want to give up”. But because of those people I have more of a desired to persevere and become better. Let them copy me, let them belittle me in the end I am the one that has tact and integrity and that is all I need to persevere through anything. So when you just want to give up think about these quotes and don’t give up.
Saints are sinners who kept on going. ~Robert Louis Stevenson
If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking. ~Buddhist Saying
I may not be there yet, but I’m closer than I was yesterday. ~Author Unknown
Keep on going, and the chances are that you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I never heard of anyone ever stumbling on something sitting down. ~Charles F. Kettering
One may go a long way after one is tired. ~French Proverb
Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines. ~Robert Schuller
Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over. ~F. Scott Fitzgerald
With ordinary talent and extraordinary perseverance, all things are attainable. ~Thomas Foxwell Buxton
When your dreams turn to dust, vacuum. ~Author Unknown
Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they’ve got a second. ~William James
So when someone comes at you, when you have a hard time in life, when someone has to try to outdo you and you feel like what’s the point, remember you are an original and they will never be able to do better than you who did it originally no matter how hard they try. When you feel like the world is against you remember it’s probably because they are jealous of who you are so don’t give up but instead persevere and use that as motivation and persevere. Hard times are what give us character and help us build our confidence.
Happy Sunday!
