Short but moving words to remember when your heart is tired (21–30)
He who runs away can fight another day.Demosthenes
These words can give courage to those who have failed once and feel like their life is over, or who are truly struggling but are holding back out of a sense of responsibility.
This quote is by Demosthenes, an ancient Greek statesman and orator.
He says that although “to flee” may sound like defeat, it actually means stepping back from the situation, regaining composure, and quietly waiting for the right moment.
Even if you quit in an environment that feels unfavorable, it isn’t running away; I feel it’s about not wasting energy so you can challenge yourself again.
No one anywhere becomes happy through envy.Baltasar Gracián
Everyone feels envy from time to time.
But when it turns into jealousy and makes you hostile toward others, you may end up pushing your own happiness farther away.
Comparing yourself with others isn’t bad, but harboring ill feelings just because you can’t be like them is misplaced.
Constant jealousy wears down your heart and keeps you from seeing your own strengths.
Keep this quote by the philosopher Baltasar Gracián close to your heart, and keep pursuing challenges that lead to your own happiness, not to defeating someone else.
Some believe that clinging makes you stronger. But sometimes, letting go is what makes you strong.Hermann Hesse
Persevering without giving up in anything cultivates strong mental fortitude.
Yet sometimes, letting go itself can be what leads to strength.
That is what the writer Hermann Hesse tells us.
Letting go of something seems simple, but it is difficult.
If it is something precious, you will waver all the more.
Precisely because of that, if you can find the courage to decide to let it go, you will grow once again and become stronger.
This quote both makes us consider what we truly need and gently acknowledges and accepts the sorrow and pain of letting go.
Think not of today’s failures, but of the successes that may come tomorrow.Helen Keller
These words teach the importance of looking to the future rather than the past.
When people fail, they often think, “If only I had done this back then…” That’s natural in a sense, and it’s important to reflect, identify causes, and apply the lessons next time.
However, it isn’t good to keep replaying failures and letting them become fixed in your memory.
Instead of dwelling too much on an unchangeable past, keep a positive mindset and pour your energy into succeeding at the next opportunity.
Failure is a necessary experience that guides you toward a better future.
There are, of course, days when your heart hurts.Ma Rainey
All kinds of things happen in life.
At times you’ll be struck by misfortune that makes you wonder, “Why is this happening?” You may feel it’s unfair, but that’s life—there’s no use lamenting it.
I feel that this quote by blues singer Ma Rainey teaches us the importance of accepting life’s daily ups and downs just as they are.
Bad times don’t last that long, so there are simply days like that! Remember this quote and try to get through them.
Do what you can, and then just worry quietly in your heart about the rest. Things will only turn out the way they’re going to anyway.Katsu Kaishū
After you’ve given everything you’ve got, all you can do is hope for success.
As Katsu Kaishū’s famous saying teaches, if there’s nothing more you can do, you just have to stay calm and let things take their course.
Being able to do that comes from having done all you can and having no regrets about the time you’ve spent.
Being able to feel that way is itself a kind of success, and an experience you need.
If you can say you’ve poured out all the strength you have, be proud of yourself no matter the result.
The key to resisting stress is being moved—above all else. And it’s also the secret to a long life.Shigeta Saitō
There are times in our daily lives when stress and fatigue build up, aren’t there? This quote is from Shigeta Saitō, a psychiatrist, essayist, and honorary director of Saitō Hospital.
Being moved or deeply touched can ease the stress in your brain and help relax your mind.
In your current surroundings, recall small joys, good things that happened, and moments that moved you, and allow yourself to feel happy.
In a world often called a stressful society, this may be a quote that gives you courage.
