Resilience Quotations: Part 1

“The oak fought the wind and was broken, the willow bent when it must and survived.” Robert Jordan

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” Steve Jobs

“Champions get up when they can’t.” Jack Dempsey

“Things do not change; we change.” Henry David Thoreau

“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next.” Gilda Radner

“Each person’s task in life is to become an increasingly better person.” Leo Tolstoy

“Happiness is not the absence of problems but the ability to deal with them.” H. Jackson Brown

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Life only demands from you the strength you possess.” Dag Hammarskjold

“It’s never too late to be who you might have been.” George Eliot
