Ben Carson Quotes

Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off your goals.

Obstacles are merely a call to strengthen your resolve to achieve your worthwhile goals.

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

Pursue your goals even in the face of difficulties, and convert adversities into opportunities.

You're going through college, and you're going to be faced with a lot of things. You're going to face adversity, the main thing is don't quit. For many people it's easy to quit, but don't. That's what separates the winners from the losers, what separates the all-stars from the also-rans.

Even if things don't unfold the way you expected, don't be disheartened or give up. One who continues to advance will win in the end.

If you want something, and you find an obstacle, you need to get over it. By any means necessary.

Delays, disappointments and defeats cause quitters to give up in resignation; losers, to give in the frustration; winners, to come through with determination.

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

The mantra I used was 'find a way.'

The bigger your obstacle, the bigger your future. Don't get discouraged, keep moving forward.

You will succeed if you persevere; and you will find joy in overcoming obstacles.

Never give up on your dreams.

If you give up at the first sign of struggle, you're really not ready to be successful.

There's always a point where you get knocked down. But I draw on what I've learned on the track: If you work hard, things will work out.

The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed.

Never give up! Failure and rejection are only the first step to succeeding.

Failure makes me work even harder.

When you reach an obstacle, turn it into an opportunity. You have the choice. You can overcome and be a winner, or you can allow it to overcome you and be a loser. The choice is yours and yours alone. Refuse to throw in the towel. Go that extra mile that failures refuse to travel. It is far better to be exhausted from success than to be rested from failure.

See every difficulty as a challenge, a stepping stone, and never be defeated by anything or anyone.

When on the brink of complete discouragement, success is discerning that...the line between failure and success is so fine that often a single extra effort is all that is needed to bring victory out of defeat.

Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success.

What are stumbling blocks and defeat to the weak and vacillating are but stepping stones to victory to the determined soul.

Really you just gotta keep chugging along and keep a positive attitude and get through all the problems. You gotta face them, otherwise you don't get through.

Challenges are meant to be met and overcome.
