No one can beat someone who never gives up.Babe Ruth

Babe Ruth, often called one of the greatest athletes in American history.
Among his achievements as a Major Leaguer, his home run records are remembered as his signature accomplishments.
As a cultural icon of the United States as well as a legendary baseball player, he left behind a famous quote that expresses the importance of never giving up.
It tells us that those who keep challenging themselves without giving up are the strongest of all, and that by sticking to that attitude, various forms of success—including victory—await.
It’s the kind of saying that, when recalled in moments when you feel discouraged by a lack of results, can inspire you to take one more step toward your next challenge.

No matter how long it takes, that’s not the issue. What matters is having a goal.Eudora Welty

Let me share a famous quote by the American writer Eudora Welty: “No matter how long it takes, that’s not the problem.
What matters is having a goal.” When you’re working toward a goal, there may be times when you feel, “I just can’t seem to reach it.” You might compare yourself to others and think you’re slow or not good enough, and then lose the focus to keep at it.
But neither other people nor your own pace actually has anything to do with whether you achieve your goal.
What’s far more frightening may be having no goal to strive and work for.
Without that, life lacks the joy of feeling your own growth and the hope found in goals and dreams.
These are words I’d like to gently offer to those who are working hard and persevering.
Even if the goal is empty, human happiness exists only in the process of striving toward it.Yukio Mishima

Here is a famous quote by the novelist Yukio Mishima: “Even if the goal is empty, human happiness exists only in the process of striving toward a goal.” Many people, even for small things, work hard toward their goals.
While you’re making an effort, you may encounter accidents or failures that make you stop in your tracks.
But if you look back on the various things that happen while you’re moving toward your goal, it’s said that everything leads to happiness.
Still, it may be hard to feel that way while you’re in the midst of working hard toward something.
Even when you struggle while being absorbed in something, you can feel joyful and happy.
This is a quote that makes you think, “I’ll keep trying,” even in the face of difficulties.
The attitude of striving not to betray yourself will reveal itself in your future results.Yoshiharu Habu

Even if you don’t know much about shogi, you’ve probably heard the name Yoshiharu Habu.
He’s famous as the first player in the shogi world to capture all seven major titles.
Here is one of his famous quotes.
A stance of effort that never betrays yourself… perhaps it’s something you discover through facing yourself every day.
Effort doesn’t yield immediate results, but it gives you the courage and strength to press on, and that surely helps draw results toward you.
Let’s keep going, believing in our own success.
In conclusion
This time, we introduced phrases you can say to someone who’s doing their best—what did you think? From words that are stern yet full of care to ones that gently stay by someone’s side, I hope you’ll choose them according to the recipient’s personality and situation.
