Emotions and Feelings

You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning.

Throw your dream into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, or a new country.

What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore— And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over— like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags Like a heavy load. Or does it explode?

Dreams nourish the soul just as food nourishes the body.

Doubt must be no more than vigilance, otherwise it can become dangerous.

What is it that confers the noblest delight? What is that which swells a man’s breast with pride above that which any other experience can bring to him? Discovery!

What molting time is to birds, so adversity or misfortune is . . . for us humans.

Adversity in immunological doses has its uses; more than that crushes.

Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which, in prosperous circumstances, would have lain dormant.

Perhaps adversity is a great teacher, but he charges a high price for his lessons, and often the profit we take from them is not worth the price they have cost us.

To overcome difficulties is to experience the full delight of existence, no matter where the obstacles are encountered.

If men live decently it is because discipline Saves their very lives for them.

As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties, the inmost strength of the heart is developed.

What is required of us is that we love the difficult and learn to deal with it. In the difficult are the friendly forces, the hands that work on us.

The injustice of defeat lies in the fact that its most innocent victims are made to look like heartless accomplices.

Man needs difficulties; they are necessary for health.

Defeat is simply a signal to press onward.

Defeat is simply a signal to press onward.

No man is defeated without until he has first been defeated within.

Man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.

History to the defeated May say Alas but cannot help or pardon.
