Walls only appear to those who are capable. They come only to people who have the potential to overcome them. That’s why, when I face a wall, I see it as a chance.Ichiro Suzuki

Even for someone as remarkable as Ichiro, there must have been obstacles—difficulties and unexpected incidents that stood in his way.

His famous words teach us that by pressing on without giving up, we can overcome challenges and connect them to great success beyond.

Trust others, but trust yourself a hundred times more.Osamu Tezuka

Osamu Tezuka — Quote: Believe in others. But believe in yourself a hundred times more.

In the course of a long life, you may be betrayed by those around you or lose their trust.

At such times, it’s important not to rely on someone else, but to trust yourself most of all.

By believing in yourself and persevering, a path can open up.

Even when you feel besieged on all sides, you can still trust yourself.

The famous manga artist Osamu Tezuka also faced a desperate situation.

It’s said he was burdened with hundreds of millions of yen in debt, yet he kept believing in himself and continued drawing manga, which led to the creation of many renowned works.

Because of this experience, this saying became Tezuka’s personal motto.

What matters is not who you’ve been up to now, but who you’ll be from here on.Ella Fitzgerald

Here’s a quote to remember when you find yourself regretting past events or actions.

It comes from an American jazz singer, and it has a way of lifting your spirits.

There may be days when you think, “Why did I do that back then?” But instead of dwelling on the past, let’s think about what we can do from here on.

The days that have ended cannot be brought back.

The future, however, can be changed to reflect your intentions.

So why not look ahead and let your thoughts reach toward the future? Rather than thinking about the past, focus on the future and take action.

If you think you can, you can; if you think you can’t, you can’t. This is an unshakable, absolute law.Pablo Picasso

Which arts subject did you choose in high school? If you chose art, I imagine you also studied Cubism.

Picasso, the founder of that movement, was one of those artists who led a life full of hardships.

While his mosaic-like geometric paintings are famous, he also left behind many works of printmaking and ceramics.

His words seem to advise us: “Don’t overthink—act first.” In a new phase of life, it’s easy to become conservative in various ways.

His message also seems to resonate with Takagishi from Timon-D, known for his phrase, “If you try, you can do it.”

In this world, there is a unique path that only you can walk. Do not ask where that path will lead. Simply keep moving forward.Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche, the German thinker and philosopher.

His philosophy is often called a “philosophy of self-affirmation.” Among the many famous quotes he left, this one is especially well-known and encouraging.

People may interpret it in different ways, but many will feel, “I don’t need to imitate anyone… I can move forward as myself.” When you lose sight of the path you should take, remember this quote.

You should just go all out and try whatever you set your mind to. No matter which way things turn out, we humans, like stones by the roadside, end our lives as bones all the same.Ryoma Sakamoto

There was a time when Ryōma Sakamoto’s reputation became a point of contention, causing a brief uproar over whether he should be omitted from social studies textbooks.

Even so, I hear that many prominent figures across various fields—such as Tetsuya Takeda, Masayoshi Son, and Ryotārō Shiba—are fans of Sakamoto.

Perhaps part of the admiration stems not from some grand, history-making feat, but from his behind-the-scenes role as a bridge in history, and the charm of his character that left its mark there.

This famous quote, too, is utterly unpretentious—quintessentially Sakamoto.

This single quote alone makes me feel I could grow fond of him.
