Lennox Lewis Quotes

Somebody told me that if you wake up every day and do stuff that's easy, then you're doing the wrong thing. If you wake up every day and do stuff that's really hard and you manage to get through to people, then you're doing the right thing. They might have just fooled me by telling me that, but it worked. I think that's my philosophy.

Some of my greatest pleasures have come from finding ways to overcome obstacles.

Success is never so interesting as struggle

Give your best to the challenges. And what you get will be even better.

Opportunity follows struggle. It follows effort. It follows hard work. It doesn't come before.

It is not ease, but effort-not facility, but difficulty, makes men. There is, perhaps, no station in life in which difficulties have not to be encountered and overcome before any decided measure of success can be achieved.

There is no excellence uncoupled with difficulties.

I haven't met anybody who hasn't been able to describe years and years and years of very, very difficult struggle through the whole process of achieving anything whatsoever. And there's no way to sort of get around that.

I fall, I stand still... I trudge on. I gain a little... I get more eager and climb higher and begin to see the widening horizon. Every struggle is a victory.

I've always been stimulated by the sense of challenge.

There is no gain without struggle.

Life is all about toiling and labor. But obviously I get great joy in confronting challenge and taking risk.

Anything worth having is going to be hard

Almost anything difficult, any challenge takes time, patience, and hard work.
