Dag Hammarskjold Quotes

Setbacks motivate me.

Failure makes me work even harder.

Obstacles don't have to stop you.

Press on. Obstacles are seldom the same size tomorrow as they are today.

Do not allow setbacks to set you back.

Setbacks and fear are inevitable. The thing that distinguishes the ultimate successes from the ultimate failures is this: What do you do with them?

Success is usually earned by persevering and not becoming discouraged when we encounter challenges.

If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it.

One of the secrets of success is to refuse to let temporary setbacks defeat us.

There is a vast difference between failure and temporary defeat.

The world loves to tell you how difficult things are, and the world's not exaggerating. But difficult doesn't mean impossible, and out of the bajillions of things in this universe that you can't control, what you can control is how hard you try, and if or when to pack it in.

You go through big chunks of time where you're just thinking, 'this is impossible - oh,this is impossible'. And then you just keep going and keep going, and you sort of do the impossible.

I often think that all the difficulties we encounter only give us the more strength if we keep hold of our work, and we must not now give up while in the prime of life. It is best to keep trying, and by and by the opportunity will come. If we have given up, then we shall not be ready for it when it does come.

When the path becomes difficult, that's no reason to give up. In fact, it means you're making real progress.

Keep trying. It's only from the valley that the mountain seems high.

Not to give up under any circumstances should be the motto of our life: I shall try again and again, and I am bound to succeed. There will be obstacles, but I have to defy the obstacles.

The greatest failure is not to try. Had I listened to all the people during the course of my life who said, "You can't. You'll fail. It won't work. You don't have...," I wouldn't be here today.

Do not let the fact that things are not made for you, that conditions are not as they should be stop you. Go on anyway. Everything depends on those who go on anyway.

Before a dream is realized, the Soul of the World tests everything that was learned along the way. It does this not because it is evil, but so that we can, in addition to realizing our dreams, master the lessons we’ve learned as we’ve moved toward that dream. That’s the point at which most people give up. It’s the point at which, as we say in the language of the desert, one 'dies of thirst just when the palm trees have appeared on the horizon.

Sometimes you may feel like you are just about to realize your goal only to fall short. That is no reason to quit. Defeat happens only to those who refuse to try again.

You always pass failure on your way to success.

We should not give up and we should not allow the problem to defeat us.

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.

Sometimes when the going gets tough, people give up.

Nobody travels on the road to success without a puncture or two.
