free trial the victory is proof of the

skill you possess defeat is the proof of

your grit a weakling can smile in his

days of success but it troubles first

sign he will quit so the test of the

heart and the test of your pluck isn't

Sky's data sunny and fair but how do you

stand to the blow that is struck and how

do you battle despair a fool can seem

wise when the pathway is clear and it's

easy to see the way out but the test of

a man's judgment is something to fear

and what does he do when in doubt and

the proof of his faith is the courage he

shows when sorrows like deep in his

breast it's the way that he suffers the

griefs that he knows that brings out his

worst or his best the test of a man is

how much he will bear for a cause which

he knows to be right how long will he

stand in the depths of despair how much

will he suffer and fight there are many

to serve when the victory is near and

few have a hurts to be borne but it

calls for a leader of courage to cheer

the men in a battle for it is the way

you hold out against odds that are great

that proves what your courage is worth

it is the way that you stand to the

bruises of fate that shows up your

stature and girth and victory is nothing

but proof of your skill veneered with a

glorious thing unless it is a proof of

unfaltering will and unless you have

suffered

if you think you are beaten you are if

you think your dare not you don't if you

like to win but think you can't it's

almost a cinch loved you you think

you'll lose you're lost for out in the

world we find success begins with a

fellas will is all in the state of the

mind if you are outclassed you are you

gotta think high to rise we've got to be

sure of yourself before you can ever win

the promise life's battles don't always

go to the stronger or faster man but

sooner or later the man who wins is the

man who thinks he can

when you get what you want in your

struggle for self in the world makes you

king for a day just go to the mirror and

look at yourself and see what that man

has to say for it isn't your father or

mother or wife whose judgment upon you

must pass the fellow whose verdict

counts most in your life was the one

staring back from the glass he is the

fellow to please never mind all the rest

oh he's with you clear to the end and

you've passed your most difficult

dangerous test if the man in the glass

is your friend you may fool the whole

world down the pathway of years and get

Pat's on the back as you pass but your

final reward will be heartache and tears

if you cheated

Amazing words,

when you're up against a trouble meted

squarely face to face lifts it chin and

set your shoulders plant your feet and

take a brace when its veins are tryin

dodge it do the best that you can do you

may fail but you may conquer see it

through

black maybe the clouds about you and

your future may seem grim but don't let

your nerve desert you keep yourself in

fighting trim if the worst is found to

happen in spite of all that you can do

running from it will not save you see it

through even hope may seem but futile

when with troubles you're beset to

remember you are facing just what other

men have met you may fail but fall still

fighting don't give up what air you do

eyes front and high to the finish see it
through

the tree that never had to fight for Sun

and sky and air and light but stood out

in the open plain and always got its

share of rain never became a forest king

but lived and died a scrubby thing the

man who never had to toil to gain and

farm his patch of soil who never had to

win his share the Sun the sky and light

and air never became a manly man but

lived and died as he began good timber

does not grow with ease the stronger

wind the stronger trees the further sky

the greater lengths the more the storm

the more the strengths by Sun and cold

by rain and snow in trees and men good

Timbers grow

we're thickest lies the forest growth we

find the patriarchs of both and they

help counsel with the stars whose broken

branches show the scars of many winds

and much of strife this is the common

law of life

figure it out for yourself my lad

you haul that the greatest of men have

had two arms two hands two legs two eyes

and a brain to use if you would be wise

with this equipment they all began so

start for the top and say I can look

them over the wise and great they take

their food from a common plate and

similar knives and forks they use with

similar laces they tie their shoes the

world considers them brave and smart but

you've all they had when they made their

start

you can triumph and come to skill you

can be great if only you will you're

well-equipped for what fight you choose

you have legs and arms and a brain to

use and the man who has risen great

deeds to do began his life is no more

than you you have a handicap you must

face you are the one who must choose

your place you must say where you want

to go how much you will study the truth

to know God has equipped you for life

but he lets you decide what you want to

be carriage must come from the soul

within the man was furnished the will to

win so figure it out for yourself my lad

you were born with all the rage of that

with your equipment they all began get

hold of yourself and say I can

you

Life Changing Quotes (Man's Search For Meaning)

when we are no longer able to change a

situation we are challenged to change

ourselves everything could be taken from

a man but one thing the last of the

human freedoms to choose one's attitude

in any given set of circumstances to

choose one's own way but there was no

need to be ashamed of Tears for tears

bore witness that a man had the greatest

of courage the courage to suffer

man is that being who invented the gas

chambers of Auschwitz however he's also

that being who entered those chambers

upright with the Lord's Prayer or the

Shema Israel on his lips what is to give

light must endure burning when I was

taken to the concentration camp of

Auschwitz a manuscript of mine ready for

publication was confiscated certainly my

deep desire to write this manuscript

anew helped me to survive the rigors of

the camps I was in

in some ways suffering ceases to be

suffering at the moment it finds a

meaning life is never made unbearable by

circumstances only by lack of meaning
and purpose

for success like happiness cannot be

pursued it must ensue and it only does

so as the unintended side effect of

one's personal dedication to a cause

greater than oneself
so live as if you were living already

for the second time and as if you had

acted the first time as wrongly as you

are about to act now

the salvation of man is through love and
in love

no man should judge unless he asks

himself in absolute honesty whether in a

similar situation he might not have done

the same thing ultimately man should not

ask what the meaning of his life is but

rather must recognize that it is he who

is asked in a word each man is

questioned by life and he can only

answer to life by answering for his own

life to life he can only respond by

being responsible

if there is any meaning in life at all

then there must be meaning in suffering

everyone has his own specific vocation

or mission in life everyone must carry

out a concrete assignment the demand

fulfilment therein he cannot be replaced

nor can his life be repeated

thus everyone's task is unique as his

specific opportunity to implement it

the more one forgets himself by giving

himself to a cause to serve or another

person to love the more human he is and

the more he actualizes himself I do not

forget any good deed done to me and I do

not carry a grudge for a bad one

a human being is a deciding Being

between stimulus and response there is a

space in that space is our power to

choose our response in our response lies

our growth and our freedom for the world

is in a bad state but everything will

become still worse unless each of us

does his best

the one thing you can take away from me

is the way I choose to respond to what

you do to me

Life Changing Quotes

he who has a why to live can bear almost

any how

no one can construct for you the bridge

upon which precisely you must cross the

stream of life no one but you yourself

alone that which does not kill us makes

us stronger snake which cannot cast its

skin has to die as well the mines which

are prevented from changing their

opinions they ceased to be mined I was

in darkness but I took three steps and

found myself in paradise the first step

was a good thought the second a good

word and the third a good deed

to live is to suffer to survive is to

find some meaning in the suffering

the individual has always had to

struggle to keep from being overwhelmed

by the tribe if you try it you will be

lonely often and sometimes frightened

but no price is too high to pay for the

privilege of owning yourself

the higher we saw the smaller we appear

to those who cannot fly the surest way

to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to

hold in higher esteem those who think

alike than those who think differently

there will always be rocks in the road

ahead of us

they will be stumbling blocks or

stepping stones it all depends on how

you use them one must give value to

their existence by behaving as if one's

very existence were a work of art a

sedentary life is the real sin against

the Holy Spirit only those thoughts that

come by walking have any value

you have your way I have my way as for

the right way the correct way and the

only way it does not exist

you must have chaos within you to give

birth to a dancing star

the secret of reaping the greatest

fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment

from life is to live dangerously and

those who were seen dancing were thought

to be insane by those who could not hear

the music

a thinker sees his own actions as

experiments and questions has attempts

to find out something success and

failure are for him answers above all

sometimes people don't want to hear the

truth because they don't want their

illusions destroyed

if you gaze long enough into an abyss

the abyss will gaze back into you

I assess the power of a will by how much

resistance pain torture it indoors and

knows how to turn to its advantage

LIFE CHANGING Quotes

be content with what you have rejoicing

the way things are when you realize

there is nothing lacking the whole world

belongs to you when I let go what I am I

become what I might be be still like a

mountain and flow like a great river use

the light that is within you to revert

to your natural clearness sight

knowledge is a treasure but practice is

the key to it

people in their handlings of affairs

often fail when they are about to

succeed if one remains as careful at the

end as he was at the beginning there

will be no failure manifest plainness

embrace simplicity reduce selfishness

have few desires to our mind it is still

the whole universe surrenders life is a

series of natural and spontaneous

changes

don't resist them that only creates

sorrow net reality be reality care about

what other people think and you will

always be their prisoner

a man without food courage Daz to die a

man with inner courage destined live

watch your thoughts they become your

words watch your words they become your

actions watch your actions they become

your habits

watch your habits they become your

character watch your character it

becomes your destiny

a journey of a thousand miles begins of

single stem when the student is ready

the teacher will appear when the student

is truly ready the teacher will

disappear if you do not change direction

you may end up where you are heading

time is a creative thing to say I don't

have time it's like saying I don't want

to she realized that all things changed

there is nothing you will try to hold on

to if you are not afraid of dying

there is nothing you cannot achieve new

beginnings are disguised as painful

endings

if you would take you must first give

this is the beginning of intelligence if

you are depressed you are living in the

past if you are anxious you are living

in the future if you are at peace you

are living in the present at the center

of your being you have the answer you

know who you are and you know what you

want

how to strengthen your character

good character is not formed in a week

or a month it is created little by

little day by day protracted and patient

effort is needed the unexamined life is

not worth living

I never did anything worth doing by

accident nor did any of my inventions

come by accident they came by work it is

during our darkest moments that we must

focus to see the light the ideal man

bears the accidents of life with dignity

and grace making the best of

circumstances we cannot live better than

in seeking to become better the secret

of happiness you see is not found in

seeking more but in developing the

capacity to enjoy less what you leave

behind is not what is engraved in stone

monuments but what is woven into the

lives of others we will never do

anything in this world without courage

it is the greatest quality of the mind

next to honor

people are like dirt

they can either nourish you and help you

grow as a person or they can stunt your

growth and make you wilt and die we can

easily forgive a child who's afraid of

the dark

the real tragedy of life is when men are

afraid of the light

employ your time in improving yourself

by other men's writings so that you

shall gain easily what others have

labored hard for the only true wisdom is

in knowing that you know nothing moral

excellence comes about as a result of

habit we become just by doing just acts

temperate by doing temperate acts brave

by doing brave acts the roots of

Education are bitter but the fruit is

sweet

beware the Baroness of a busy life no

man has the right to be an amateur in

the matter of physical training it is a

shame for a man to grow old without

seeing the beauty and strength in which

his body is capable it is not living

that matters but living rightly

you

Epictetus - LIFE CHANGING Quotes (Stoicism) best poetry

from this instant on vowed to stop

disappointing yourself separate yourself

from the mob decide to be extraordinary

and do what you need to do now what odd

one to say then as each hardship comes I

was practicing for this I was training

for this fortify yourself with

moderation for this is an impenetrable

fortress if you want to improve be

content to be thought foolish and stupid

no great thing is created suddenly any

more than a bunch of grapes or a fate if

you tell me that you desire a fig I will

answer that there must be time let it

first blossom then bear fruit then ripen

first say to yourself what you would be

and then do what you have to do when you

are offended at any man's fault turn to

yourself and study your own failings

then you will forget your anger the

trials you encounter will introduce you

to your strengths remain steadfast and

one day you will build something that

endures something worthy of your

potential the world turns aside to let

any man pass who knows where he is going

attach yourself to what is spiritually

superior regardless of what other people

think or do hold to your true

aspirations no matter what is going on

around you

you may fare to my leg but Zeus himself

cannot get the better of my free will

seek not the good in external things

seek it in yourselves on the occasion of

every accident that befalls you remember

to turn to yourself and inquire what

power you have for turning it to use it

is the nature of the wise to resist

pleasures of the foolish to be a slave

to them

can take this moment immerse yourself in

its particulars respond to this person

this challenge this deed quit evasions

stop giving yourself needless trouble

it's time to really live if you want to

be a writer write

the key is to keep company only with

people who uplift you whose presence

calls false your best be discriminating

about what images and ideas you permit

into your mind

no man is free who is not a master of

himself

if anyone tells you that a certain

person speaks ill of you do not make

excuses about what is said of you but

answer he was ignorant of my other

faults else he would not have mentioned

these alone it is impossible to begin to

learn that which one thinks one already

knows do not seek to have events happen

as you wish or wish them to happen as

they do happen and all will be well with

you never depend on the admiration of

others there is no strength in it

personal merit cannot be derived from an

external source

: LIFE CHANGING Quotes (Stoicism) best poetry

true happiness is to enjoy the present

without anxious dependence upon the

future not to amuse ourselves we either

hopes or fears but to rest satisfied

with what we have which is sufficient

for he that is so wants nothing begin at

once to live count each separate day as

a separate life it is not because things

are difficult that we do not dare it is

because we do not dare that things are

difficult we all sorely complain of the

shortness of time and yet have much more

than we know what to do with our lives

are either spent in doing nothing at all

or in doing nothing to the purpose or in

doing nothing that we ought to do we are

always complaining that our days are few

and acting as though there would be no

end of them

a gem cannot be polished without

friction nor a man defected without

trials the bravest sight in the world is

to see a great man struggling against

adversity every night before going to

sleep you must ask ourselves what

weakness did I overcome today what

virtue did I acquire throw me to the

wolves and I will return leading the

pack

life is never incomplete if it is an

honorable one at whatever point you

leave life if you leave it in the right

way it is hope we suffer more often in

imagination than in reality you want to

live but do you know how to live you are

scared of dying but tell me is the kind

of life you lead really any different to

being dead

the greatest blessings of mankind are

within us and within our reach

a wise man is contented with his lot

whatever it may be man is affected not

by events but by the view he takes of

them as is a tail so his life not how

long it is but how good it is is what

matters sometimes even to live is an act

of courage if you really want to escape

the things that Harris you what you're

needing is not to be in a different

place but to be a different person until

we have begun to go without them we fail

to realize how unnecessary many things

are we've been using them not because we

needed them but because we had them he

suffers more than necessary who suffers

before it is necessary

hang on do your youthful enthusiasms

you'll be able to use them better when

you are older it is not the man who has

too little but the man who craves more

that is Paul if a man knows not to which

port he sails no wind is favorable luck

is what happens when preparation meets

opportunity

LIFE CHANGING Quotes (Stoicism) best poetry

when you arise in the morning

think of what a precious privilege it is

to be alive to breathe to think to enjoy

to love the happiness of your life

depends upon the quality of your

thoughts look well into thyself

there is a source of strength which will

always spring up if thou wilt always

look do not indulge in dreams of having

what you have not but I reckon up the

chief of the blessings you do possess

and then thankfully remember I would

crave them if they were not yours the

object of life is not to be on the side

of the majority but to escape finding

oneself in the ranks of the insane here

is a rule to remember in future when

anything tempts you to feel bitter not

this is misfortune but to bear this

worthily is good fortune

accept whatever comes to you woven in

the pattern of your destiny for what

could more aptly fit your needs you

don't have to turn this into something

it doesn't have to upset you to live a

good life we all have the potential for

it if we learn to be indifferent to what

makes no difference think of yourself as

dead you have lived your life now take

what's left and live it properly

death smiles at us all but all a man can

do is smile back

the best revenge is not to be like your

enemy your mind will take the shape of

what you frequently hold in thought of

the human spirit is colored by such

impressions the impediment to action

advances action what stands in the way

becomes the way you have power of your

mind not outside events realize this and

you will find strength

it is not death that a man should fear

but he should fear never beginning to

live never let the future disturb you

you will meet it if you have to with the

same weapons of reason which today arm

you against the present very little is

needed to make a happy life it is all

within yourself in your way of thinking

loss is nothing else but change and

change is nature's delight no man's true

delight is to do the things he was made

for

you

if you can keep your head when all about

you are losing theirs and blaming it on
you

you can trust yourself

when all men doubt you but make

allowance for their doubting too

you can wait

and not be tired by waiting or being

lied about don't deal in lies or being

hated don't give me don't look to her

I talk too wise you can't dream

and not make dreams your master

you can't think

and not make thoughts your aim you can

meet with triumph and disaster and treat

those two Impostors just the same

to hear the TV :

twisted by knaves to make a trap

watch the things you gave your life to

broken

you can make one

risk it on one turn exit off

start again at your beginnings and never

breathe a word about your love you can

force your heart and nerve and sinew to

serve your turn long after they are gone

and so hold on there's nothing in you

except the will which says to them hold

on you can talk with crowds and keep

your virtue or walk with Kings nor lose

the common touch neither foes nor loving

friends can hurt you if all men count

with you the unforgiving minute with

sixty seconds worth of distance run

yawns this year

and everything that's in it

Confucius - Life Changing Quotes

the superior man thinks always a virtue

the common man thinks of comfort

i want you to be everything that is you

deep

at the center of your being

the will to win the desire to succeed

the urge to reach your full potential

these are the keys that will unlock the

door to personal

excellence

to see the right and not to do it is

cowardice

silence is a true friend who never

betrays

we have two lives and the second begins

when we realize we only have one

the superior man makes the difficulty to

be overcome

his first interest success only comes

later

to be wronged is nothing unless you

continue to remember

if i am walking with two other men each

of them will serve as my teacher

i will pick out the good points of the

one and imitate them

and the bad points of the other and

correct them in myself

our greatest glory is not in never

falling

but in rising every time we fall

the firm enduring the simple and the

modest

are near to virtue

the object of the superior man is truth

it is more shameful to distrust our

friends

and to be deceived by them

never contract friendship with a man

that is not better than thyself

they must often change who would be

constant in happiness

or wisdom

looking at small advantages prevents

great affairs from being accomplished

we should feel sorrow but not sink under

its oppression

when anger rises think of the

consequences

to see and listen to the wicked is

already the beginning

of wickedness

the superior man is modest in his speech

but exceeds in his actions

you

Life Changing Quotes my best poetry

do not let your hearts be troubled

trust in god trust also in me

whatever you ask for in prayer believe

that you have received it

and it will be yours

served

but to serve others and to give his life

as a ransom for many

the kingdom of god

no one comes to the father except

through me

so i say to you ask and it will be given

to you

door

will be open for you

don't worry about tomorrow for tomorrow

gain the whole world

and suffer the loss of his soul

a new command i give you love one

another

as i have loved you

if any of you wants to be my follower

you must turn from your selfish ways

take up your cross and follow me

but seek ye first the kingdom of god and

his righteousness

and all these things shall be added unto

you

for everyone who exalts himself will be

humbled

and everyone who humbles himself will be

exalted

know that i am with you always yes

to the end of time

when you stand praying if you hold

anything against

anyone forgive them so that your father

in heaven may forgive you

your sins

so in everything do to others what you

would have them do to you

let your light so shine before men that

they may see your good works

and glorify your father which is in

heaven

if you try to hang on to your life you

will lose it

but if you give up your life for my sake

and for the sake of the gospel

you will save it

everyone who drinks this water will be

thirsty again

but whoever drinks the water i give them

will never thirst

indeed the water i give them will become

in them a spring of water welling up

to eternal life

but i say to you who here love your

enemies

do good to those who hate you bless

those who curse you

and pray for those who spitefully use

you

my kingdom is not of this world if it

were

my servants would fight to prevent my

arrest by the jews

but now my kingdom is from another place

i have told you these things so that in

you may have peace in this world

you will have trouble but take heart

i have overcome the world
