A gift to my present self! Memorable, uplifting words and the source of courage to change yourself (11–20)
If you laugh, the world laughs with you. If you cry, you cry alone.Ella Wheeler Wilcox
These are the opening words of “Solitude,” a work by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, a poet who was active in the United States.
They express the connection between sorrow and loneliness and also convey how important it is to stay positive.
When you are laughing, people gather; when you are sad, you are alone—this encourages us to be as positive as possible so that people will come together.
It also stirs the courage to face hardship, reminding us that it is we ourselves who overcome suffering.
If you think you can, you can; if you think you can’t, you can’t. This is an unshakable, absolute law.Pablo Picasso
Pablo Picasso is known as a painter whose style kept shifting from one phase to the next.
Looking at his works The Old Guitarist, Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, and Dove, you might even wonder, “Were these really painted by the same person?” Perhaps he had a curious nature that compelled him to try things whenever something caught his interest.
Here are some words Picasso left us.
Just as he changed his style as he wished, you too can surely become anything.
But if you decide on your own that you cannot, then you won’t.
So believe that you can, and keep moving forward.
What matters is not who you’ve been up to now, but who you’ll be from here on.Ella Fitzgerald

Ella Fitzgerald is one of the greatest jazz vocalists, but she can hardly be said to have grown up in good circumstances.
Even while her biological mother was alive, she was placed in an orphanage, and after her mother died of illness and she became an orphan, she often ended up in trouble with the police…
She is said to have experienced homelessness as well.
Her words will surely save those who are in extremely difficult situations right now: Instead of thinking, “I’m worthless anyway,” imagine your future self and cherish a dream for that future.
As long as you don’t give up on yourself, a better future will surely open up.
Be true to the dreams of your youth.Friedrich von Schiller
What did you want to be when you were a child? A firefighter, a police officer, a baker, a candy shop owner…
You probably had all sorts of dreams.
But as we grow up and spend our days simply working through tasks, we begin to forget what we wanted to do and who we wanted to become.
In such times, remember the words of Friedrich von Schiller.
In those days when you were purely pursuing something…
your dream may still be there.
There’s no need to look back. There are countless paths ahead of you.Lu Xun
People dwell on their failures and regret the futures that might have been.
But there’s no need to fixate on what’s already over.
As Lu Xun’s words suggest, your future can still stretch on endlessly.
Failure becomes valuable experience if you use it next time, and the future that might have been may yet be recovered.
Keep your eyes forward, not back, and move ahead so you can become a better version of yourself and live a life you’re proud of.
You can’t change the past, but you can change the future as much as you like!
If you can dream it, you can achieve it.Walt Disney
Walt Disney, an animation creator also known as the founder of the Disney resorts beloved around the world.
His famous quote, “If you can dream it, you can do it,” is a saying that could only come from Walt Disney, who left behind countless works—from films to theme parks.
The message that any ideal can be achieved if you expand your hopes and imagination surely gives courage to many people.
These are words we would like to offer to those who are striving right now.
Our lives are our art.John Lennon
Singer-songwriter John Lennon, known as the founding leader of The Beatles, who still have fans all around the world today.
His quote, “Our life is our art,” is a stylish, artist-like turn of phrase.
A life that each of us colors in our own unique palette is, in a sense, a work of art that belongs only to that person.
It’s a gem of a quote that makes us feel that both joy and hardship are necessary to illuminate life and to create something beautiful.
On the mountain of truth, climbing is never in vain.Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche, a classical philologist known as a thinker from the Kingdom of Prussia, is recognized for prose whose literary value is widely acknowledged.
From his famous saying, “On the mountain of truth, you never climb in vain,” we can learn the importance of making the right kind of effort.
Even if you fail to reach your goal—or if, upon reaching it, the view is not what you expected—it suggests that devoting yourself fully to the process matters most.
It’s a quote that teaches us we must face everything head-on.
God doesn’t want us to succeed; He just wants us to try.Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa, the nun who received high acclaim for her work during her lifetime and was honored with awards such as the Templeton Prize, the Nobel Peace Prize, the Bharat Ratna, and the Order of Merit, once said: “God doesn’t require us to succeed; he only requires that you try.” This famous quote teaches us that having the courage to take the first step matters more than the outcome.
When people have dreams or goals, they tend to believe that if they don’t succeed, everything will be meaningless.
However, this quote reminds us that the very act of trying already brings us something profound.
Heaven does not extend a helping hand to those who do not act for themselves.William Shakespeare
Playwright William Shakespeare, who left to posterity numerous works such as the Four Great Tragedies and Romeo and Juliet.
His famous quote, “Heaven does not extend a helping hand to those who do not act,” may give a jolt to anyone with a tendency to be lazy.
Miracles and opportunities do not come to those who do nothing.
It is precisely because we make daily efforts on our own that transformative changes worthy of being called miracles occur, and we cultivate the strength to seize opportunities when they arrive.
This is a message that teaches the importance of taking the first step and continuing forward.
