Difficulty - http://www.christiansquoting.org.uk

It has been my philosophy of life that difficulties vanish when faced boldly.--- Isaac Asimov

Obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes off his goal.--- E. Joseph Crossman

When Solomon said that there was a time and a place for everything he had not encountered the problem of parking an automobile. - Bob Edwards (1947 - )

Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs. - Henry Ford, 1863 - 1947

All problems become smaller if you don't dodge them, but confront them. Touch a thistle timidly, and it pricks you; grasp it boldly, and its spines crumble.
William S. Halsey

The three hardest tasks in the world are neither physical feats nor intellectual achievements, but moral acts: to return love for hate, to include the excluded, and to say, "I was wrong." --Sydney J. Harris (1917-1986) _Pieces of Eight_

Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track of are our failures, discouragements, and doubts. We tend to forget the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful groping. - Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) "Reflections on the Human Condition," aph. 157, 1973.

Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it, - Michael Jordan

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal. -- Hannah Moore

I have only one eye: I have a right to be blind sometimes: I really do not see the signal
