In struggling with misfortunes lies the true proof of virtue.

Fortitude creates winners and champions that aren't always perfect but perfectly persistent.

Fortitude is a great help in distress.

I can wait for life to shape me in whatever manner it chooses. Or I can shape me to make life whatever I choose.

Strong people alone know how to organize their suffering so as to bear only the most necessary pain.

I didn’t need to get knocked down to know the fortitude that I have in me.

Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can’t practice any other virtue consistently.

There is a life of iron and a life of silver. Today we are in the life of iron. We must be strong.

The most critical time in any battle is not when I’m fatigued, it’s when I no longer care.

He who weighs his burdens, can bear them.

I know of no higher fortitude than stubbornness in the face of overwhelming odds.

The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire, not things we fear.

Don’t make excuses for why you can’t get it done. Focus on all the reasons why you must make it happen.

Goals may give focus, but dreams give power.

Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.

Always remember, your focus determines your reality.

Taking time to evaluate your level of happiness places your focus on happiness and will cause it to increase.

Focus on unlocking your genius.

Focusing on what you don’t have keeps you too preoccupied to enjoy the things you do have!
