The way up and the way down are one and the same.
HeraclitusI did suffer a lot since karting, with my size and everything, not really having a clue what to do when I started karting. So I suffered in every category: F4, F3, F2. Not so much F2 but I’ve had to kind of play catch-up quite a bit and in some ways, F1 was a bit nicer with power steering.
Lando NorrisThe world is in a constant conspiracy against the brave. It’s the age-old struggle: the roar of the crowd on the one side, and the voice of your conscience on the other.
Douglas MacArthurRemember upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all.
Alexander the GreatThe more nobly a man wills and acts, the more avid he becomes for great and sublime aims to pursue. He will no longer be content with family, country, and the remunerative aspect of his work. He will want wider organisations to create, new paths to blaze, causes to uphold, truths to discover, an ideal to cherish and defend.

Clint EastwoodI do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
BuddhaWith patient and firm determination, I am going to press on for jobs. I’m going to press on for equality. I’m going to press on for the sake of our children. I’m going to press on for the sake of all those families who are struggling right now. I don’t have time to feel sorry for myself. I don’t have time to complain. I am going to press on.
Barack ObamaGod wants to help us… He loves us… we are His children. But He will not force His help on us at any time. He sees us when we struggle and fight and complain our way through things. And I believe it breaks His heart, when all we have to do is ask Him for help.
Joyce MeyerFortune brings in some boats that are not steered.
William ShakespeareIt’s a curse. I ask God to take this away from me all the time. I do not like being an artist.
Kevin GatesMen do not shape destiny, Destiny produces the man for the hour.
Fidel CastroTo die for an idea; it is unquestionably noble. But how much nobler it would be if men died for ideas that were true!
H. L. MenckenWhat nourishes me also destroys me.
Angelina JolieEverything I read about hitting a midlife crisis was true. I had such a struggle letting go of youthful things and learning how to exist and have enthusiasm while settling into the comfort of an older age.
David BowieCoincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.
Albert EinsteinIf you stop struggling, then you stop life.
Huey NewtonEducation comes from within; you get it by struggle and effort and thought.
Napoleon HillI hate to see anybody sink. I hate to see anybody lose their dream, lose their home, something like that.
Clint EastwoodAnyone who cannot come to terms with his life while he is alive needs one hand to ward off a little his despair over his fate… but with his other hand he can note down what he sees among the ruins.
Franz KafkaThe Soviet government is the most realistic regime in the world – no ideals.
Golda MeirAccept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.
Marcus AureliusIt’s always a struggle growing up in Akron.
LeBron JamesActions are the seed of fate deeds grow into destiny.
Harry S. TrumanBut blind to former as to future fate, what mortal knows his pre-existent state?
Alexander PopeI have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
Mother TeresaOf the love or hatred God has for the English, I know nothing, but I do know that they will all be thrown out of France, except those who die there.
Joan of ArcWhatever fortune has raised to a height, she has raised only to cast it down.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaBy denying scientific principles, one may maintain any paradox.
Galileo GalileiAll truth is simple… is that not doubly a lie?
Friedrich NietzscheWe are faced with the paradoxical fact that education has become one of the chief obstacles to intelligence and freedom of thought.
Bertrand RussellNo other country in the world does what we do. On every issue, the world turns to us, not simply because of the size of our economy or our military might – but because of the ideals we stand for, and the burdens we bear to advance them.
Barack ObamaMan does not control his own fate. The women in his life do that for him.
Groucho MarxMost of us experience a life full of wonderful moments and difficult moments. But for many of us, even when we are most joyful, there is fear behind our joy.
Thich Nhat HanhI believe nothing happens by mistake. You know, the universe has a divine plan. That sounds dramatic.
Lana Del ReyI had faith in Israel before it was established, I have in it now. I believe it has a glorious future before it – not just another sovereign nation, but as an embodiment of the great ideals of our civilization.
Harry S. TrumanI know what it feels like to struggle to get the education that you need.
Michelle ObamaIf you can look into the seeds of time, and say which grain will grow and which will not, speak then unto me.
William ShakespeareIn my country of South Africa, we struggled for years against the evil system of apartheid that divided human beings, children of the same God, by racial classification and then denied many of them fundamental human rights.
Desmond TutuTo hold a pen is to be at war.
VoltaireNormally, when someone we love is turning away from a struggle, we self-protect by also turning away. That’s definitely my first response. I think change is more likely to happen if both partners have common language and a shared lens to see problems.
Brene BrownThere’s always a bittersweet kind of thing, but I feel like everything had to work out the way it is. Everything that had to happen, happened.
Bruno MarsIt is also true that one can write nothing readable unless one constantly struggles to efface one’s own personality. Good prose is like a windowpane.
George OrwellThere’ll always be serendipity involved in discovery.
Jeff BezosCall it Nature, Fate, Fortune; all these are names of the one and selfsame God.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaOur national determination to keep free of foreign wars and foreign entanglements cannot prevent us from feeling deep concern when ideals and principles that we have cherished are challenged.

Terry PratchettThere will always be something to ruin our lives, it all depends on what or which finds us first. We are always ripe and ready to be taken.
Charles BukowskiThe bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaWhen the gods wish to punish us they answer our prayers.
Oscar WildeIntimates are predestined.
Henry AdamsThe point of philosophy is to start with something so simple as not to seem worth stating, and to end with something so paradoxical that no one will believe it.
Bertrand RussellThere are many events in the womb of time, which will be delivered.
William ShakespeareThe most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.
Albert EinsteinAt the outset, I want to say that the suggestion that the struggle in South Africa is under the influence of foreigners or communists is wholly incorrect. I have done whatever I did because of my experience in South Africa and my own proudly felt African background, and not because of what any outsider might have said.
Nelson MandelaI do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
Gilbert K. ChestertonI’ve written some great things. That’s a gift, but there’s consequences. Yeah, you get this great work, but you suffer. You really, really suffer.
Frank Ocean
