Quotes that save your heart in tough and painful times (31–40)
Because there is a premise of happiness, we are able to find unhappiness.Kazlaser
People inevitably tend to focus on misfortune and problems, but happiness is something we can truly feel precisely because those moments exist as a contrast.
That said, there’s no need to let your heart be consumed by misfortune.
By consciously looking away just a little, you become more aware of the small joys and comforts in everyday life.
The more knowledgeable and analytical a person is, the more they notice and feel the problems and misfortunes hidden in daily life; but by intentionally avoiding them, the mind becomes calmer and you can savor everyday happiness more fully.
The very act of looking away is a positive strategy to keep your heart from being ruled by misfortune.
If we were just one minute earlier, we could save one more person.Calvin Coolidge
Let me introduce a powerful quote from Calvin Coolidge: “If you are one minute early, you can save one more person.” Calvin Coolidge was an American politician who also served as President.
This saying—“If you are one minute early, you can save one more person”—was apparently an American firefighting slogan that was introduced to Japan when the American Red Cross used it in 1923 (Taisho 12) to appeal for aid following the Great Kanto Earthquake.
These powerful words that crossed the ocean truly strike a chord, don’t they?
If you endure, you will surely become a strong person.Senichi Hoshino
These are the words of Senichi Hoshino, who excelled as a player for the Chunichi Dragons during his career and later made his mark as a manager for the Chunichi Dragons, the Hanshin Tigers, and the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles.
During the Great East Japan Earthquake, he was the manager of the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles, the team from the disaster-stricken region, and his words are remembered for inspiring many people.
He conveys that no matter what difficulties you face, you should give your all in the present and confront them head-on—that strength lies along the path you advance by doing so.
Because these are the words of Hoshino, who rebuilt teams whose results had faltered, they carry real persuasive power; they are words that lift your spirits and make you want to keep pushing forward.
If you want to see a rainbow, you have to put up with a little rain.Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton, a singer-songwriter hailed as a leading figure in country music, is active in many fields as an actor, author, business owner, and humanitarian.
Her famous quote, “If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain,” has likely struck a chord with many people.
When hard and painful times drag on, we can lose heart, overwhelmed by a sense of hopelessness with no exit in sight.
Yet this quote delivers a positive message: if you get through it, you’ll be rewarded with a beautiful view.
If you have a shadow, it’s proof that the light is shining on you.Lady Gaga
Singer-songwriter Lady Gaga continues to captivate fans around the world not only with her innovative musical sensibilities but also with her distinctive fashion and performances.
Her famous quote, “If you have a shadow, it means there’s a light shining on you,” evokes the challenges and successes she herself has experienced.
The stronger the light that shines on you, the darker and deeper the shadow becomes.
Rather than focusing on the shadow, this quote reminds us to recognize that we are moving toward success.
Quotes that save your heart in tough or painful times (41–50)
If you look around, a day will come when you realize that happiness has been with you all along.Tui 'Moana and the Legend of the Sea'
Something to remember when you’re feeling down! “If you look around, the day will come when you realize happiness has been with you all along.” This wonderful line was spoken by Tui in Moana.
In our busy daily lives or when we’re deeply focused on something, it’s easy to lose sight of what’s around us.
But that’s exactly when taking a breath and looking around can help us notice hints of support and find happiness.
May this beautiful quote lighten your heart.
Sometimes things happen that are completely beyond our control. There’s no need to worry about them before they even occur.Mufasa 'The Lion King'
A protective charm for the worriers among us! Let me share this: “Sometimes things happen that you just can’t do anything about.
There’s no need to worry about them before they happen.” These powerful yet gentle words were spoken by Mufasa in The Lion King.
We make choices every day, and some of us may wonder whether those choices were right.
It’s good to think of countermeasures before problems arise, but this is one phrase I hope worriers will keep as a charm—especially for those who end up stressing too much over things that haven’t even happened yet.
