There’s no need to look back. There are countless paths ahead of you.Lu Xun
Lu Xun’s words that resonate with Terayama Shuji’s poetic line, “Don’t look back, don’t look back—there are no dreams behind you.” Most of us first encountered Lu Xun in middle school through the short story “My Old Home,” whose theme was something like “the changing human heart and its sorrow.” But there’s not a trace of that gloom in this famous quote.
These words rouse us, telling us that even when unpleasant things happen, even when we fail or suffer setbacks, all we need to do is look forward and think, “Next time for sure!” Everyone has a “next time,” don’t they?
It’s natural to have worries. They are proof that you’re alive and that you’re constantly reflecting on yourself.Konosuke Matsushita
Are you someone who can switch your mindset quickly? Or are you the type who keeps brooding over things even when there’s no point in thinking about them? I’m the latter.
I know I don’t have to shoulder everything by myself, yet I can’t help overthinking—such a “self-defeating” trait.
But hearing this quote from Konosuke Matsushita lifted a weight off my heart somehow.
It reassured me that it’s normal for people to have worries.
As the founder of Panasonic, Mr.
Matsushita must have led a life overcoming many troubles, too.
All misfortunes are nothing but stepping stones to the future.Henry David Thoreau
Do you know the novel A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers? If you do, you’re quite the avid reader.
This work is a masterpiece depicting a boating trip with the author’s brother, who died young, and there’s even an anecdote that it attracted no attention when it was first published.
And here is a famous quote by its author, Thoreau.
In a long life, I think everyone has times when nothing goes right.
His words encourage us to stay positive, telling us that all such hardships and setbacks become “nourishment for the future.” Such a wonderful saying—you could even print it out and stick it by your front door!
When one door is closed, many more are open.Bob Marley
Do you know the words of Rastafari? Rastafari is a religious and ideological movement that spread among Jamaica’s working class.
Bob Marley is often said to be a symbol of Rastafari.
As for him, there’s hardly anything left to add about how he helped bring Jamaica—and reggae music—to the attention of the world.
These words seem to tell us that “there isn’t only one possibility.” When people’s goals fall through, they tend to get deeply discouraged and think, “It’s all over…” This is a phrase you’ll want to remember at such times.
Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.NEW!Anne Frank
These are the words of Anne Frank, which gently wrap around a troubled heart.
The greater the loss, the more life may appear faded.
Yet this famous quote reminds us that there are still so many wonderful things by your side.
When you want to recover from a painful reality, don’t force yourself to forget; instead, try turning your attention to what you love and what moves your heart.
By doing so, your spirit may regain its strength, and a life that seemed washed out might come alive again in different colors.
If you’ve done the best you can, worrying won’t improve the situation. I worry about many things, but I don’t worry about water overflowing from a dam.NEW!Walt Disney
These are the words of Walt Disney, founder of a dreamland that heals everyone’s heart.
The more earnestly you devote yourself to something, the more worries you’ll have.
You start fretting about this and that, and it can feel like your heart is being crushed by anxiety.
That’s only because you’re facing things sincerely—it’s not a bad thing.
Still, as this quote suggests, sometimes it’s important to let go of your worries.
And even if those worries do come true, if you’ve done everything you could, you’ll likely be able to accept that it would have turned out that way no matter what you did.
Every event has meaning. The work of life is to understand that meaning.NEW!Suzanne Somers
There are times when, amid the daily rush of work and life, we ask ourselves what we want to do and how we want to live.
In such moments, a quote from Suzanne Somers, an American entrepreneur and actress, can nourish a tired heart.
When things are hard, thinking that this experience will surely help your future self can lift your spirits and spark new thoughts.
Because she endured breast cancer and continued to show a forward-looking way of life, her words may be all the more empowering.
All misfortunes are nothing but stepping stones to the future.NEW!Thoreau
When something unfortunate happens, it can feel like the rest of your life will be nothing but bad.
This quote shines a warm path of light into such a darkened heart.
What counts as misfortune differs from person to person, but in many cases we imagine failure or setback.
Things don’t go smoothly, unforeseen mishaps occur… By seeing them as stepping stones to the future, we can keep facing forward without giving up.
That’s what Thoreau’s words teach us.
If we think of misfortune as a step toward the next stage, we can surely take it in a positive light.
If you keep looking down, you won’t be able to find a rainbow.NEW!Sir Charles Spencer “Charlie” Chaplin
When we’re feeling down, we tend to look down…
This is a famous quote by Chaplin that I’d like you to remember at such times.
Rainbows are said to be a sign of good luck, and seeing one makes you feel fortunate, doesn’t it? In this quote, he encourages us to keep looking forward while reminding us not to miss the rainbow.
Rather than a blunt “Do your best,” it resonates precisely because it uses a gentle, indirect expression—“missing the rainbow.” It’s a quote that feels like someone quietly sitting beside you in support.
No one anywhere becomes happy through envy.NEW!Baltasar Gracián
Everyone feels envy from time to time.
But when it turns into jealousy and makes you hostile toward others, you may end up pushing your own happiness farther away.
Comparing yourself with others isn’t bad, but harboring ill feelings just because you can’t be like them is misplaced.
Constant jealousy wears down your heart and keeps you from seeing your own strengths.
Keep this quote by the philosopher Baltasar Gracián close to your heart, and keep pursuing challenges that lead to your own happiness, not to defeating someone else.
