Ann Romney Quotes

Life kicks you hard but you have to be a man to come back.

I have a different kind of experience than other girls had. I've had to face a lot of different styles and adjust to them. I had to face a lot of bad situations and come back. I've had to fight with my eyes swollen shut and my nose broken and bloody.

Life is designed to knock you down. It will knock you down time and time again, but it doesn't matter how many times you fall - it matters how many times you get back up.

The only way to make it through life is to fight.

No difficulty can discourage, no obstacle dismay, no trouble dishearten the man who has acquired the art of being alive. Difficulties are but dares of fate, obstacles but hurdles to try his skill, troubles but bitter tonics to give him strength; and he rises higher and looms greater after each encounter with adversity.

People striving, being knocked down and coming back... this is what builds character in a man.

It's how many times you get back up that defines you.

Any injury I have had, I have come back stronger.

I'm a fighter. I'm a survivor, and I'll get through anything people can throw at me.
