Knowing it will surely save your heart… Short quotes to remember when times are tough (1–10)
If you can learn from failure, that failure is a success.Malcolm Forbes
The “Mr./Ms.
So-and-so from Japan graced the cover of Forbes!” you sometimes see in the news refers to Forbes, the American business magazine—its publisher was Malcolm Forbes.
The lavish mansion owned by the arms dealer in The Living Daylights (007) actually belonged to Forbes—wow.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who finds something comforting in his words.
Few great or famous people have led completely smooth-sailing lives; most have experienced failure or setbacks somewhere along the way.
Thinking of it that way makes things feel a bit easier, doesn’t it?
It doesn’t matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop.Confucius
Here is a famous saying by Confucius, the great philosopher of ancient China.
Many people know Confucius for teaching the importance of morality and ethics through lessons about life.
We’ve all had experiences of panicking when we fail.
At such times, what may matter most is not stopping, but moving forward little by little.
Even while carrying worries, steadily making effort at your own pace can sometimes lead to good results.
Without rushing, we should aim to take one step at a time.
No matter how small, every bit of progress will surely contribute to your growth.
Do you realize that your life is far more valuable than gold?Bob Marley
Here is a quote from Bob Marley, the Jamaican reggae musician.
Some of us may have struggled or felt troubled when things didn’t go well in terms of financial success or social status.
However, the people we’ve met, the bonds we share with family and friends, and our own experiences are things that money can never buy.
When we have such experiences, it becomes easier to remember that the value of life is greater than money.
Our lives are built on connections with others and on our emotions, and by keeping their importance in mind, we may be able to take better care of ourselves.

Even if everything is lost, the future still remains.Christian Nestell Bovee
Mr.
Bowie, whose famous quote soared in popularity after it was used in the American hit TV series Criminal Minds.
He was a New York lawyer and also left behind several books.
In a long life, there may be times when you feel, “I can’t do this anymore,” or “I’ve ended up like this—my life is over,” and you hit rock bottom.
Maybe Mr.
Bowie went through hard times too? Even then, it’s important to sometimes adopt an optimistic outlook and think, “We still have a future.” In other words, it’s precisely when things are tough that we should lift our heads and look forward!
Even the hard days lead to days you can smile.Kazuko Watanabe
I would like to introduce a quote by Kazuko Watanabe, a renowned nurse and writer whose words have given courage to many.
In everyday life, it’s almost certain that we encounter hardships and sad events.
Yet this saying tells us that such experiences can sometimes lead to future happiness and laughter.
It’s important to acknowledge the pain we feel now, but by holding on to hope for the future, our hearts may feel a little lighter.
Even if things are tough at the moment, let’s cherish each day, believing that one day those experiences will turn into smiles.
No one is born with a strong heart.Ken Watanabe
Here is a quote by Ken Watanabe, an actor active on the international stage.
Famous people—whether entertainers or athletes—weren’t strong from the start.
They went through periods of setbacks and anxiety, and strengthened their minds through effort and experience.
When you feel troubled or pressured in everyday life, try to remember these words.
You may feel that you, too, can work to fortify your own heart.
Mental strength is something anyone can develop, and we should move forward believing we possess that power.
The only people who never make mistakes are those who do nothing.Theodore Roosevelt
Roosevelt, who consistently ranks among the top in popularity polls of U.S.
presidents throughout history, was a figure so charismatic that his name invariably appears in any book on leadership.
We learned about the New Deal in school history classes—an initiative that was groundbreaking for its time.
Here are some of his bold words that might even be called headlong and fearless.
Hearing them gives you courage and confidence, reassuring you that a few mistakes are okay.
If Roosevelt were alive today, how would he change this chaotic world? I’m utterly fascinated to imagine it!
