Knowing this will surely put your mind at ease… Comforting words from great and famous people (21–30)
Your happiness in life depends on the quality of your thoughts.Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, one of the Five Good Emperors and the 16th Roman emperor.
He is also known for leaving behind his work Meditations, and can be regarded as a model of a philosopher-king who preferred learning over war.
He was also a thinker within Stoic philosophy.
The happiness of life changes according to the quality of one’s own thoughts.
Controlling the mind and emotions through thought also affects how we ultimately interpret things.
In other words, a single way of thinking can make you happy—or unhappy.
Only those who can love deeply can also experience great pain.Leo Tolstoy
Leo Tolstoy is a great Russian writer known for War and Peace and Anna Karenina.
This quote of his is something to remember when you’re heartbroken.
It’s precisely because you loved someone so deeply that, when you lose that love, you feel a pain as if you were being torn apart.
It’s proof that the person was that important to you, something precious and hard to lose.
It may become a painful memory, but I believe the experience of loving someone that strongly will help you grow.
If you know them, your heart will surely feel lighter… Comforting words by great and famous figures (31–40)
Even insects come in two kinds—those that like light and those that don’t! Humans are the same; it’s unnatural to expect everyone to be bright all the time!Vincent van Gogh
Isn’t this a quote that could only have come from Van Gogh, who struggled with not fitting in with those around him? To me, these words carry a wish for each person’s individuality to be respected.
Some of you may be suffering because you feel different from others.
In such times, why not recall this quote? I’m sure it will bring you comfort and give you the courage to live as yourself.
First, please acknowledge and accept yourself.
Earthquakes will strike again and again. To prevent severe damage, we will build parks and roads.Shinpei Gotō
I would like to introduce a famous quote left by Shinpei Goto: “Earthquakes will come again and again.
To prevent great damage, we must build parks and roads.” From this saying, one can sense his conviction to protect human life.
Shinpei Goto devoted himself to the reconstruction after the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, making present-day Tokyo a city resilient to disasters.
Immediately after the earthquake, he became Minister of Home Affairs and then Minister for Reconstruction to rebuild Tokyo, which had suffered immense damage.
Along with the quote, he conceived reconstruction measures, but at the time he faced criticism from those around him.
It is said that enormous funds were required to put them into action, and landowners opposed the purchase of tracts that had been reduced to burned-out fields by the quake.
Although his budget was cut, Goto poured his efforts into building a disaster-resilient city.
Thanks to those efforts, Tokyo became stronger against earthquakes than it had been in the past.
If you endure, you will surely become a strong person.Senichi Hoshino
These are the words of Senichi Hoshino, who excelled as a player for the Chunichi Dragons during his career and later made his mark as a manager for the Chunichi Dragons, the Hanshin Tigers, and the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles.
During the Great East Japan Earthquake, he was the manager of the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles, the team from the disaster-stricken region, and his words are remembered for inspiring many people.
He conveys that no matter what difficulties you face, you should give your all in the present and confront them head-on—that strength lies along the path you advance by doing so.
Because these are the words of Hoshino, who rebuilt teams whose results had faltered, they carry real persuasive power; they are words that lift your spirits and make you want to keep pushing forward.
Just because you failed once doesn’t mean everything is a failure.Marilyn Monroe
Despite an active career of only about ten years, the American actor Marilyn Monroe is still known across generations for her impact.
Her famous quote, “Just because you fail once doesn’t mean you’re going to fail at everything,” is one we’d like to dedicate to everyone with dreams and goals.
Many people, after experiencing failure, tend to feel deeply discouraged or become so intimidated that they can’t attempt the next challenge.
However, if we can believe that one failure doesn’t decide everything, we can reset our mindset and move forward toward the next attempt.
It’s a message that encourages a positive outlook on life.
If you don’t give up on yourself, there’s no such thing as “losing” in life.Shigeta Saitō
Dr.
Shigeta Saito, a psychiatrist who was also active as an essayist and public speaker and was affectionately known as “Mota-san.” His famous quote, “As long as you don’t give up on yourself, there is no such thing as ‘losing’ in life,” is a message that can change the way we see life.
In living, there are times when we find ourselves in competitive situations—some people win, and some lose.
However, when we view life from a long-term perspective, any given win or loss is just one among countless contests, and we realize that it doesn’t mean our life is inferior.
It’s a positive saying that teaches the importance of not being fixated on short-term results and of never giving up, no matter what happens.
