Bob Harper Quotes

Under pressure, would I fold and disappear, or would I show everyone that when bad things happen, you fight?

We all have struggles in life but we have to continue to fight

Life isn't about the number of times you're knocked down, it's about the number of times you get back up.

The question in life is not whether you get knocked down. You will. The question is, are you ready to get back up... And fight for what you believe in?

I've certainly had periods when I felt like life was winning and I was losing, so I think everybody can relate to that quandary - the temptation to give in, to give up, and then what It takes to keep going.

Every fighter has a story that could break your heart. We lose, we get hurt and everything comes apart. That's when it's so difficult to stay on the straight and narrow.

Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.

It takes a lot of energy and creativity to make such screwed up lives carry on. And the kind of will people have to survive, year after year, dealing with that stuff, is weirdly impressive.

I just think that there are those people that their resolve is strengthened by what it is that's keeping them down, and there are some people that will buckle under it. You never know which one is which until you get into the eighth or ninth round of the fight.

Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.

There's moments where I want to break down and cry, but not give up.

In life, you always have to keep fighting. It's not easy.

I've had to be tough my whole life.

I think if you're not strong, in life or in football, not every day is going to be going up and seeing the sunshine.

Just because you get punched in the nose doesn't mean that you throw in the towel.

I have lived long enough to be battered by the realities of life, and not too long to be downed by them.

When life seems hard, the courageous do not lie down and accept defeat; instead, they are all the more determined to struggle for a better future.

Life always has a bit of a challenge in front of you, and that's what makes you fight for it.

I wanted to finish on a stronger note. Fighting through that routine, you know what I was like, 'I'm just fighting through.'

I didn't drown. I didn't break.

It's been a tough season for all of us, but all we can do is keep fighting and showing character to the end of the season

You're gonna have to go through hell, worse than any nightmare you've ever dreamed. But when it's over, I know you'll be the one standing. You know what you have to do. DO IT!

My whole life has been spent with people who have taken every knock in the world. No advantages. Yet they greet you with a big smile, they give you what they have, and they keep coming back. They are the fighters.

You don't always win your battles, but it's good to know you fought.

Don’t let haters get me off my grind. Keep my head up, I know I’ll be fine. Keep fighting until I get there. When I’m down and I feel like giving up I whip my hair back and forth.
