If you have no enemies, you have no character. Taking a stand always creates opposition.
The doors of opportunity swing on the hinges of opposition!
Of course, we will face fear, experience ridicule, and meet opposition. Let us have the courage to defy the consensus, the courage to stand for principle. Courage, not compromise, brings the smile of God's approval.
Focus on impact, not approval. If you believe you can change the world, which I hope you do, do what you believe is right and expect resistance and expect attackers. Keep calm and carry on!
Over my head his arm he flung, Against the world.
The best work usually meets the strongest opposition.
Sometimes new opportunity means new opposition. Not everything God asks us to do will be comfortable.

Those who have something to say accept the fact that that's lonely. One already knows that there will be adversaries.
There were moments when it honestly seemed as if the world were conspiring against her.
