Malcolm Bradbury Quotes

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

True adventure begins when everything goes wrong.

If things don't go fantastically, you just have to deal with it.

Life isn't perfect, of course, but we all know it's how you react to things that counts.

When you have to cope with a lot of problems, you're either going to sink or you're going to swim.

I mean, the things you think will never happen, you have to confront; those things that come into your life that you thought you never could deal with, you do.

Whenever people are faced with any sort of adversity... they tend to gravitate toward things that make them comfortable, and things that they feel are important.

I have had many troubles in my life, but the worst of them never came.

The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem.

I keep living life as it's dealt to me. Sometimes, it's not dealt 100 percent. Sometimes it's dealt on the low '30s.

Don't worry about what happens when things go wrong; just accept that they're going to, and figure out how do you want to cope with it when it does.

When you don't have any worries, it is better, but things happen in football, and we know we must try to resolve as soon as we can.

I really wish this wasn't a thing. But this tumor is a thing. Even though it's not what I would have chosen for myself, that doesn't necessarily mean it has to be all bad. What I keep trying to remind myself is this is one of those things that looks like a really bad thing on the outside but I know too little about life to be sure.

No one knows how they would react to a horrible situation until it happens to them.

Humour is used in struggle and solving difficult things, and I relish that tradition.

Whatever happens will happen, that's the rollercoaster of life. What matters is how you handle the slumps.

When I say 'fighter,' I am thinking about how you deal with adversity, how you deal with being in bad situations.

I'm ready for any adversity that's going to hit.

Things in life just happen and then you make the best of the situation and you keep moving.

What's amiss I'll strive to mend,And endure what can't be mended.

Things happen in life and you can’t control them. It sucks and you have to move on.

I could do nothing without my problems; they toughen my mind. In fact, I tell my assistants not to bring me their successes for they weaken me, but rather to bring me their problems, for they strengthen me.

You will have bad times, but they will always wake you up to the stuff you weren't paying attention to.

So what if right now everything is wrong?

If a problem can be solved it will be. If it can not be solved there is no use worrying about it.
