Just recalling them fills me with courage! Memorable quotes that pierce the heart by great and notable figures (111–120)
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.
What Japan gained after losing everything was hope… It planted the seeds of hope within us, who had been captivated by wealth.Ryu Murakami
I would like to share a famous quote by Ryū Murakami: “What Japan, having lost everything, gained was hope… It planted the seeds of hope within us, whose hearts had been captivated by wealth.” The Great East Japan Earthquake caused immense damage.
Many people must have spent their days in deep anxiety.
Yet it is precisely in such times that we must not forget “hope.” As the writer Ryū Murakami says, what we gain when everything is lost in a disaster is hope—the hope to live earnestly now and to dream of a brighter future.
In a Japan where everything is close at hand and life has become affluent, perhaps many of us have lost hope in exchange.
This also resonates with the story of Pandora’s box, in which hope remained at the end.
There’s no need to look back, because there are countless paths ahead of you.Lu Xun
There’s no need to look back. There are countless paths ahead of you.
Lu Xun, a Chinese novelist also known as a translator and thinker, has works included in Japanese junior high school language arts textbooks.
His famous quote, “There’s no need to look back; there are countless roads ahead of you,” is a message we might want to offer to anyone setting out on a new path.
People tend to dwell more on the past than the future.
Yet this quote teaches us that, rather than being bound by time we can never get back, we should let it go and look toward a future full of possibilities.
You can’t change other people or the past, but you can change yourself and the future.Eric Berne
A famous quote by Eric Berne, a Canadian psychiatrist, says, “You can’t change other people or the past, but you can change yourself and the future.” It’s true: even if you try to force others, you can’t really change them, and what happened in the past can’t be undone.
But the future, which hasn’t arrived yet, can be changed as much as we want, and we can change ourselves starting from this very moment.
Just adopting this mindset can give us hope in life.
It’s a message that helps us interpret things more positively.
The only people who don’t make mistakes are those who do nothing.Theodore Roosevelt
Nicknamed “Teddy,” Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, was known not only as a statesman but also as a soldier, writer, hunter, explorer, and naturalist.
His famous quote, “The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything,” is a message I would like to offer to anyone feeling down after making a mistake.
If you do nothing, you make no mistakes—but you also create nothing and achieve nothing.
The idea that both good and bad things happen precisely because we take action can give us the courage to keep moving forward.
Only one thing is necessary: believe you can do it.Anthony Robbins
[Words of Great People] 58 Anthony Robbins #shorts #quotations
As an entrepreneur and coach with a background in NLP coaching, Anthony Robbins gives seminars around the world.
His famous quote, “There’s only one thing you need: to believe you can,” teaches the importance of self-confidence.
No matter how big your dreams or goals are—even if everyone else says no one but you can achieve them—if you believe in yourself, you can attain great results.
Conversely, if you think you can’t do something, no matter how simple it is, the chances of failure increase.
This quote teaches us that the outcome of things can change dramatically depending on our mindset.
Just because you failed once doesn’t mean everything is a failure.Marilyn Monroe
Just because you failed once doesn’t mean you’ll fail at everything. #Shorts #MarilynMonroe #Quotes #SelfImprovement #SelfAffirmation #Business #Knowledge
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.
When you resign yourself to the possibility of failure, your heart feels lighter.Jeff Bezos
Jeff Bezos once said, “When you accept the possibility of failure, your heart feels lighter.” We’ve all had moments when fear of failure makes us give up on trying something new.
Accepting failure doesn’t mean jumping in unprepared; it means getting ready with the mindset that even if you fail, you’ll be okay.
By seeing failure as a learning opportunity and a step toward what’s next, you create mental space and may find it easier to take on challenges.
Anyone who follows their own path is a hero.Hermann Hesse
Hermann Hesse, a writer who produced many works depicting a gentle way of life and who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
His famous quote, “Anyone who follows their own path is a hero,” is a message that gives a push to those setting out on a new journey, isn’t it? No matter what you aim for or what kind of life you choose to lead, these words affirm that anyone who follows the path they have chosen is a hero, and many people may find courage in that.
It’s an uplifting quote that I recommend as a send-off message, one that can save the heart.
Jean de La Fontaine is a poet whom every French person knows and is said to remember for life.
His famous quote, “Diligence is the mother of good fortune” (literally, “Effort opens every door”), is simple yet packed with truth.
The message that anything can be achieved if we face it earnestly and make the effort it deserves is something many people understand but struggle to act on.
Of course, there are times when effort alone won’t get us there, but it never leaves us with nothing.
It’s a saying worth engraving in our hearts, one that can serve as a guiding principle in life.
