Peter Kay Quotes

When our forefathers put down roots in desolate places, the thing that allowed them to survive was that they had a faith to see them through the tough times.

I've always believed in survival.

I've seen too much in life to give up.

Life is such a precious gift. Whatever life throws at us, if we could just learn to get through that day and hang on to the next, you never know what may come. It may get worse, but you never know.

If I'm gonna go down I'm gonna do it with style. You won't hear me surrender, you won't hear me confess cause you've left me with nothing but I have worked with less.

I’m grateful I had the strength to fight. It takes courage to believe the best is yet to come, especially when you are flat on your back and don’t know if you’re going to see tomorrow. I’m no Pollyanna, but I believe optimism is a choice — a muscle that gets stronger with use. Right foot, left foot…just keep moving.

I hope that people take away hope, maybe not in an obvious sense, but in the form of hearing somebody who's genuinely fighting to stay above water. And in that fight, there's hope. In that fight, maybe there's positivity.

"We’ll never survive!” “Nonsense. You’re only saying that because no one ever has."

Hope and faith. You have to have hope and faith... Long ways to go. Grateful to survive. I's frustrating. Mentally hard. Hard work. I'm trying. Trying so hard to get better. Regain what I've lost... I will get stronger. I will return.

We Shall come through! We cannot tell when, we cannot tell how, but we shall come through.

I might have had a tough break; but I have an awful lot to live for.

When you are at the bottom, you find beauty in such little things, and goodness in such little gestures. When I compare any struggle today to ones that I may have had in my childhood, there is nothing that can bring me down.

I surprise myself that I'm not dead in the gutter somewhere, surprised that I haven't given up.

When people tell you you're on the brink of death, you've got to dig pretty deep to get it together.

The maid that loves goes out to sea upon a shattered plank, and puts her trust in miracles for safety.

If falling into desperation worked to make things better, then I would say, 'Let's all jump into despair.' But it doesn't help. The only way to truly find meaning and fulfillment is to look at the disaster, the pain, the difficulty, and know with complete certainty that good can come from this.

I have to laugh because despite the destruction, we cannot let 'them' steal our pleasure. That is always the theme of my performances: I'm here to thrive, not just to survive.

For happiness one needs security, but joy can spring like a flower even from the cliffs of despair.

When you get to know me, I don't despair - I just get up, clean up, and start again.

One must always hope when one is desperate, and doubt when one hopes.

Tough times don't last, tough people do, remember?

The first few years in L.A. were really tough and scary, but I had to figure things out for myself.

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

I have survived and possibly I should not hope for more than that.

You'll never convince me there is a hopeless situation or there is any finality in any success or any failure.
