Knowing it will surely save your heart… Short quotes to remember when times are tough (1–10)
All misfortunes are nothing but stepping stones to the future.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.
Happiness is always decided by your own heart.Mitsuo Aida
Everyone wants to meet expectations and be praised, right? But if you focus only on others’ voices, before you know it your heart can become exhausted and you may lose sight of yourself.
This famous quote by Mitsuo Aida reminds you of something simple yet easily forgotten.
What does happiness mean to you? Try thinking about it without the voices around you.
Listening to your heart and following it honestly is nothing anyone should blame you for.
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.
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.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.
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!
