A must-see for those who just can’t stay positive! A collection of uplifting quotes to cheer up a downcast heart (41–50)
98% of our worries are needless.Masahiro Fujimura
This is one of the messages shared by marketing consultant Masahiro Fujimura on his blog and social media.
He says it comes from his own experience, and that there’s no benefit to filling your head with worries.
Incidentally, according to research introduced in the book “99.9% Are Amateurs at Happiness,” only 13% of the things people worry about actually happen, and 80% of those can be resolved by the individuals themselves.
That means only about 3% are worries we can’t do anything about.
In other words, science also shows that most of the things we worry about never come to pass.

If you keep looking down, you won’t find a rainbow.Charlie Chaplin
This is a famous quote by the film actor and comedian Charlie Chaplin.
It comes from the lyrics of Swing Little Girl, a song in the film The Circus, which Chaplin starred in and directed.
When we’re feeling down or troubled, we tend to look down without even realizing it.
If you recall these words at such times, I think they can prompt you to lift your head.
Why not renew your resolve and take a step forward?
Just because you’ve been beaten down doesn’t mean you have to get discouraged. Even after all that beating and whipping, eggs still make a cake rise.Mary Johnston
Mary Johnston was an American author.
Because she was in poor health, she couldn’t attend school, and her bed became her classroom, so to speak.
At sixteen she enrolled in a music school, but quit after three months; she lost her mother and moved repeatedly—in short, judging from the story alone, her adolescence seems to have been a bit removed from a happy circumstance, doesn’t it? After becoming a writer, however, she produced hits, and Audrey was the fifth best-selling book in the United States in 1902.
Her words embody the classic spirit of “never giving up.” They’re the kind of words you’d want to post by your front door and see every day.
The only people who don’t make mistakes are those who do nothing.Theodore Roosevelt
Nicknamed “Teddy,” Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, was known not only as a statesman but also as a soldier, writer, hunter, explorer, and naturalist.
His famous quote, “The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything,” is a message I would like to offer to anyone feeling down after making a mistake.
If you do nothing, you make no mistakes—but you also create nothing and achieve nothing.
The idea that both good and bad things happen precisely because we take action can give us the courage to keep moving forward.
I really want to play soccer!Masayuki Okano
Words spoken when he was 16 by the man who scored the golden goal in the match that sent Japan to the World Cup for the first time.
In high school, where only delinquents gathered, the soccer team he finally managed to form fell apart in its very first external match because of a brawl.
It’s said that he cried out to the older delinquents through tears.
Moved by his heart, they began to train intensely.
If you want to be happy, be.Leo Tolstoy
“If you want to be happy, be.” This is a famous quote by Lev Tolstoy, the 19th-century Russian novelist known for his book War and Peace.
It’s a statement that could only come from someone like Tolstoy, who lived through turbulent times.
Whether we feel happy may depend on how we look at things.
It’s a line open to many interpretations, and it has a profound resonance.
So what if you failed? Learn from the failure and just try again.Walt Disney
Walt Disney, the entrepreneur known as the creator behind the globally beloved Disney.
His famous quote, “So what if you fail? Learn from it and try again,” carries particular weight because he repeatedly faced bankruptcy and setbacks while growing his company into an international giant.
When we fail, we can be overwhelmed by a sense of finality and despair, but this positive mindset—that even failure can be turned into nourishment for success—surely gives courage to many.
It’s a powerful quote that encourages us to take on new challenges.
