When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.

Life is growth. If we stop growing, technically and spiritually, we are as good as dead.

An education is not so much about making a living as making a person.

Keep trying until you have no more chances left.

Men fail much oftener from want of perseverance than from want of talent.

Life may try to knock you down but be persistent with your passions – cultivate grit, resilience, tenacity and endurance success will come.

Grit is picking yourself up and moving forward even when you think you can’t take one more step.

It’s gonna get harder before it gets easier. But it will get better, you just gotta make it through the hard stuff first.

Grit is the stubborn refusal to quit.

The only way out is through.

Your dreams are on the other side of your grit.

The guitar has a kind of grit and excitement possessed by nothing else.

Grit is living life like it’s a marathon, not a sprint.

Never hope for it more than you work for it.

Grit is having the courage to push through, no matter what the obstacles are, because it’s worth it.

Success is not how high you have climbed, but how you make a positive difference to the world.
