Seth Godin Quotes

Great difficulties may be surmounted by patience and perseverance.

Winners are not those who never fail, but those who never quit.

You will win if you don't quit

There are times when you run a marathon and you wonder, Why am I doing this? But you take a drink of water, and around the next bend, you get your wind back, remember the finish line, and keep going.

It isnt enough to believe in something; you have to have the stamina to meet obstacles and overcome them, to struggle.

All worthwhile journeys have big obstacles. It's the way of the world. The rewards go to those who can push through those trying moments and still manage to keep a smile on their face.

You must expect failure after failure after failure before you succeed.

...no way through it but through it," I tell myself.

It's not where you start but where you finish that counts.

Almost everything worth doing in human life is very difficult in its early stages and the good we are aiming at is never available at first, to strengthen us when we seem to need it most.

I went through every emotion with tryna pursue what I'm doing, you know what I mean? And I think what's gon' separate whoever's gon go for something, that you ain't gon' quit.

For all of us today, the battle is in our hands. The road ahead is not altogether a smooth one. There are no broad highways to lead us easily and inevitably to quick solutions. We must keep going.

With great difficulty advancing by millimeters each year, I carve a road out of the rock. For millenniums my teeth have wasted and my nails broken to get there, to the other side, to the light and the open air. And now that my hands bleed and my teeth tremble, unsure in a cavity cracked by thirst and dust, I pause and contemplate my work. I have spent the second part of my life breaking the stones, drilling the walls, smashing the doors, removing the obstacles I placed between the light and myself in the first part of my life.

It’s not when you start that makes your success in the world, but when you quit.

If it were any other way, it would be easy. And if it were any other way, everyone would do it and your work would ultimately be devalued. The yin and yang are clear: without people pushing against your quest to do something worth talking about, it's unlikely it would be worth the journey. Persist.

Very often the things we most desire come only after much patience and struggle.

Don't quit. For if you do, you may miss the answer to your prayers.

Endure the journey that you take to reach your top moment. You might not get there right now but when you do, remember what you did to get there.

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.

Many discouraging hours will arise before the rainbow of accomplished goals will appear on the horizon.

To choose what is difficult all one's days, as if it were easy, that is faith

I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended.

I'd made it this far and refused to give up because all my life I had always finished the race.

You've got to go through it to get to the end of it.
