Life is full of ups and downs, and sometimes, the right path goes in the wrong direction. You use all your power to control the situation, but life has its plans. At such times, when you are at the end of your rope, you should focus on the good things and not get depressed. These "never giving up" quotes (affiliate) will help you to keep your head up when you feel stuck in life. Check them out, and we hope you realize that everything is not as bad as it seems.

1. Albert Einstein Quote

In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity. – Albert Einstein

opportunity quote

If everything goes not so smoothly, remember that each difficulty is not an obstacle but an opportunity. This quote (affiliate) will help you understand that challenges give you a chance to improve your life.

2. Muhammad Ali Quote


Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion. - Muhammad Ali

suffer quote

If you feel that your emotional strength is running out, it means that the victory is close. This quote (affiliate) shows that you should pull yourself together and fight to the end despite temporary suffering.

3. Aristotle's Quote

There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing. – Aristotle

criticism quote

Every time you hear criticism, remember that people criticize only strong individuals but don’t even notice weak personalities. This quote (affiliate) will cheer you up every time you feel bad.

4. Beyoncé Quote

Never let success go to your head. Never let failure get to your heart. – Beyoncé

success quote

This quote (affiliate) teaches you never to get upset when you fail and never remain arrogant when you are successful. Failures, as well as accomplishments, make you the person you should be.

5. Abraham Hicks's Quote

You don’t attract well-being. It’s continuously flowing. You are either letting it in or resisting – Abraham Hicks

well being quote

Misfortune and happiness are always subjective. The quote (affiliate) says that you should allow yourself to forget about the failures, and tune into the positive events in your life, and then you will become happy.

6. Eleanor Roosevelt's Quote

The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience. – Eleanor Roosevelt

the purpose of life quote

Living without mistakes is impossible, so if you are going through a terrible situation now, remember that even failures are part of your valuable experience. This quote (affiliate) will help you to look at the situation from another perspective.

7. C. S. Lewis Quote

Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny. – C. S. Lewis

Hardships quote

Read the saying and understand that when difficulties knock you sideways, it’s because an extraordinary fate has been prepared for you. And these trials are part of your destiny.

8. Lecrae Quote

If you live for people’s acceptance, you will die from their rejection. – Lecrae

Lecrae quote

If a public opinion makes you feel depressed, then read these lines. Allow yourself the luxury of living the way you want, despite the view of others.

9. Thomas Paine's Quote

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. – Thomas Paine

triumph quote

If your path seems too heavy for you, remember that a big victory is always achieved through great trials. This quote will help you not to despair.

10. LeBron James Quote

People will hate you, rate you, shake you, and break you. But how strong you stand is what makes you. – LeBron James

LeBron James quote

Even if you feel broken, it will pass. Condemnation, betrayal, and criticism of other people only temper your character and make you stronger – that’s what the quote is saying.

11. Samuel Beckett's Quote

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. – Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett quote

If you’ve failed, never give up; get your inspiration from this quote. Try again until you get what you want.

12. Marilyn Monroe's Quote

Nothing lasts forever. So live it up, drink it down, laugh it off, avoid the drama, take chances and never have regrets because at one point everything you did was exactly what you wanted. – Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe quote

If it seems to you that the difficulties are eternal, read this quote. Change your attitude towards life, regret nothing, and you will feel better. And here is another inspiring quote.

13. Marianne Williamson's Quote

You must learn a new way to think before you can master a new way to be. – Marianne Williamson

Marianne Williamson quote

If everything goes wrong in life, change your thinking before attempting to alter your life. Thoughts are material, so make them positive.

14. Confucius's Quote

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. – Confucius

Confucius quote

Even if you go slowly, it’s ok; read the quote, restore energy, and move on. It is better to go to the goal slowly but surely.

15. Nelson Mandela's Quote

It always seems impossible until it is done. – Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela quote

These inspiring quotes (affiliate) teach us not to be afraid that our plans are impracticable. Try, begin again, and you will achieve what seems impossible to you.

Well, there you have it. I hope all these quotes (affiliate) help you through your personal situation.

    I love quotes...and your collection is wonderful. I especially like that Nelson Mandela quote. So often we go into that "can't" mode. Things are frustrating, they seem impossible. If you're willing to go small and tiny steps, you'll get there.It just requires patience and perseverance.

    I love all of these quotes... they really do make you think. Worth printing and hanging up! Maybe pick one a week to put up over the sink, desk or washing machine just for a bit of inspiration:)
