Difficulty Quotes

Rowing is an absurdly simple sport. I can easily guide a beginner throught the right technical motions. The difficulty arises when the beginner attempts to repeat those motions on a bumpy race course, at 40 strokes a minute, with his heart rate zooming, and an opponent charging up his stern Picture Quote #1

With great difficulty advancing by millimeters each year, I carve a road out of the rock. For millenniums my teeth have wasted and my nails broken to get there, to the other side, to the light and the open air. And now that my hands bleed and my teeth tremble, unsure in a cavity cracked by thirst and dust, I pause and contemplate my work. I have spent the second part of my life breaking the stones, drilling the walls, smashing the doors, removing the obstacles I placed between the light and myself in the first part of my life Picture Quote #1

The rule seems to be that those who find no difficulty in deceiving themselves are easily deceived by others. They are easily persuaded and led Picture Quote #1

Not every day can be an easy one, nor every day fully happy; but even a day of tough going and difficulty can be a good day Picture Quote #1

Here’s the difficulty about suicide: it is an act of ambition that can be committed only when one has passed beyond ambition Picture Quote #1

The perfect way is without difficulty, for it avoids picking and choosing. Only when you stop liking and disliking will all be clearly understood. Be not concerned with right or wrong, for the conflict between right and wrong is the sickness of the mind Picture Quote #1

The man of virtue makes the difficulty to be overcome his first business, and success only a subsequent consideration Picture Quote #1

If proper in their own conduct, what difficulty would they have in governing? But if not able to be proper in their own conduct, how can they demand such conduct from others? Picture Quote #1

It's not an easy choice, but that's ok. Easy doesn't equal good. Difficulty doesn't equal bad. It's just life, is all Picture Quote #1

Nine year old boys usually turn ten at some point. It's the nineteen year olds who have difficulty turning twenty Picture Quote #1

In a sick society, women who have difficulty fitting in are not ill but demonstrating a healthy and positive response Picture Quote #1

Ours is a society of denial that conditions us to protect ourselves from any direct difficulty and discomfort. We expend enormous energy denying our insecurity, fighting pain, death and loss and hiding from the basic truths of the natural world and of our own nature Picture Quote #1

I am persuaded that a leader is not made in one life. He has to be born for it. For the difficulty is not in organisation and making plans; the test, the real test, of the leader, lies in holding widely different people together along the line of their common sympathies. And this can only be done unconsciously, never by trying Picture Quote #1

I know my own soul, how feeble and puny it is: I know the magnitude of this ministry, and the great difficulty of the work; for more stormy billows vex the soul of the priest than the gales which disturb the sea Picture Quote #1

It’s often difficult for us to act compassionately, but sacred art eases the difficulty by ennobling us Picture Quote #1

Most men are reasonably useful in a crisis. The difficulty lies in convincing them that the situation has reached a critical point Picture Quote #1
