Take the sky as a road, and see the road as the sky.Miyamoto Musashi
An unexpectedly popular character from the manga Fist of the North Star is Juuza of the Clouds.
His free-spirited personality must have made him a beloved figure.
When you’re going to school or work every day, there are days when everything just feels unbearable.
You might even want to quit living a life that runs on rails someone else laid down.
At times like that, please remember these words from Musashi.
They’ll make your heart take wing and give you the feeling you can walk your path freely.
“It’s up to you to decide how you live.” It almost feels as if he’s gently teaching us even that.
God will properly prepare the future.Kazuo Inamori
If you keep a positive attitude and persevere, a path may open up no matter the situation.
Here is a famous quote from Kazuo Inamori, founder of Kyocera and KDDI: “God properly prepares the future for us.” When you take on something new or pursue your goals and dreams, you may feel a lot of anxiety.
But if you give your all, opportunities can come your way.
This quote conveys courage and hope, doesn’t it? Before the quote comes the line: “To those who never lose their brightness and keep making an effort.” Striving toward your goals and dreams is truly noble and wonderful.
However, if you work hard with a gloomy expression and look like you’re suffering, that effort won’t last.
Perhaps the trick to seizing opportunities is to work hard with a bright spirit and enjoy the process.
Only one thing is needed: to believe you can do it.Anthony Robbins
Anthony Robbins, a world-renowned self-improvement coach, has left behind so many memorable quotes that collections of them have even been published.
There’s no doubt his words have encouraged countless people.
Among them, this quote emphasizes the importance of believing you can do it.
When you believe in your ability, you come to appreciate the value of finding creative ways to proceed and steadily putting in the effort, which nurtures a spirit that doesn’t give up.
And by continuing to take action, you may also achieve results.
Let these words of wisdom be a companion to your heart as you walk through life.
There is no piece that cannot move forward.Makoto Nakahara
In shogi, while there are pieces that can move backward, it’s said there are none that can’t move forward.
Each piece advances in its own way—one step diagonally or straight—always moving ahead.
Isn’t that true for people as well? This idea is captured in the famous quote by professional shogi player Makoto Nakahara: “There is no piece that cannot move forward.” Thinking that anything in daily life can lead to progress gives us energy and motivation.
It’s the kind of phrase that gives you a push when you’re trying something new or facing difficulties.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way.Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, is also known for the phrase “government of the people, by the people, for the people.” His election, as a leader who called for the abolition of slavery, sparked the Civil War; he led the Union to victory and greatly amplified the ensuing wave of democracy.
Often hailed as “the greatest president in history,” Lincoln also declared in a speech to the people that “Where there is a will, there is a way,” a sentiment that continues to resonate deeply with Americans today.

God never gives us trials we cannot overcome.Rikako Ikee
Do you believe in God? Whether you do or you don’t, this quote by Rikako Ikee, the competitive swimmer who overcame leukemia, may resonate with you.
If you think that no trial is given that cannot be overcome, you might find the courage to face that trial.
Not giving up and saying “it’s no use” could be the key to success.
In fact, the more someone has gone through hardships like she has, the more they can be said to have been helped by their own words in overcoming adversity.
She has actually left many remarkable quotes, so please remember them when times are tough.
My past self will never betray who I am today.Mao Asada
Mao Asada’s famous quote teaches us the importance of steady, incremental effort.
Those we think of as geniuses often repeat practice and research over and over, understanding that such persistence reliably leads to results.
It may also suggest that to meet a better version of ourselves tomorrow, we must not waste today and must choose our actions carefully.
It might further imply that no effort is ever wasted.
It’s a quote that conveys many meanings in just a few words.
