Hard conditions of life are indispensable to bringing out the best in human personality.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The best things in life are usually difficult.
At the core of life is a hard purposefulness, a determination to live.
I think almost everything in life is life-experience, personality-driven.
The difficulty in life is the choice.
Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.
On the one hand, life is made infinitely easy for the personality in that stimulations, interests, uses of time and consciousness are offered to it from all sides. They carry the person as if in a stream, and one needs hardly to swim for oneself.
The principle of all successful effort is to try to do not what is absolutely the best, but what is easily within our power, and suited for our temperament and condition.
Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind.
Mutability of temper and inconsistency with ourselves is the greatest weakness of human nature.
Life doesn't require that we be the best, only that we try our best.
