"You have to press against the pressure..." - Quote by Joyce Meyer

“I can't very well be teaching one way and living my life another way. What I do in life must be consistent with the things I say. And the same goes for you.”

“We don't always help people by doing everything for them. That type of behavior can actually contribute to their problems because it helps then never take responsibility on their own.”

“There's no happier person than a truly thankful, content person.”

“Suffering increases your inner strength. Also, the wishing for suffering makes the suffering disappear.”

“A seashell should be the crest of England, not only because it represents a power built on the waves, but also the hard finish ofthe men. The Englishman is finished like a cowry or a murex.”

“He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.”

“In my career as a director, there's always been some point where you get halfway through it, or three-quarters, and you go: 'What is this thing all about, and why am I telling the story? Does anybody really care about seeing this?' At that time you have to say: 'OK, forget that and just go ahead.'”

“The majority of people are ready to throw their aims and purposes overboard, and give up at the first sign of opposition or misfortune. A few carry on DESPITE all opposition, until they attain their goal. These few are the Fords, Carnegies, Rockefellers, and Edisons. There may be no heroic connotation to the word persistence, but the quality is to the character of man what carbon is to steel.”

“There is only one answer to defeat and that is victory.”
