Mao Zedong Quotes

I've had many setbacks.

In life, nothing is always fun.

Even the accomplished suffers setbacks sometimes. The more bitter the lessons, the greater the successes will be.

I don't know many people, if any, who have had some straight line toward success. I mean, they start here, they work hard, they've got what it takes, and they just go straight to the top over some number of years. Most people get a little failure.

Man needs his difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy success.

If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere.

Problems are the price of progress. Don't bring me anything but trouble. Good news weakens me.

After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.

There are no environments where you're only going to win, because life just isn't like that.

It is easier to go down a hill than up, but the view is from the top.

There is no success without hardship.

The road to success runs uphill.

Everything looks like a failure in the middle

Every phase of my life always hasn't been perfect for me. I've had to go through some adversity.

If things are just gliding along easily and there's no real obstacles or hurdles, those typically aren't my most productive times, personally or professionally.

There's always going to be bumps in the road. There's always going to be this and that, adversity. You just overcome it. It's what I've done all my life.

I feel like, sometimes, when things are just handed to people, in a way, right away, you don't get a sense of what the rejection and the struggle is like that comes along with life.

Only in failure do you reach success. You can only get to the good stuff when you've done the hard stuff.

If achieving success were easy, more people would do it.

The path of progress is seldom smooth. New things are often found hard to do. Our fathers found them so. We find them so. But are we not made better for the effort and scarifice?

If at first you don't succeed-try, try again. Don't think of it as failure. Think of it as timed-release success.

There are no laurels in life, just new challenges.

Without risks, there can't be breakthroughs.
