An athlete who tells you the training is always easy and always fun simply hasn't been there. Goals can be elusive which makes the difficult journey all the more rewarding. ~ Alberto Salazar
Difficult Journeys quotes by Alberto Salazar
Quote of the day: The most difficult journeys often take us where we were meant to go ... By: Nicholas Sparks ~ Nicholas Sparks
Difficult Journeys quotes by Nicholas Sparks
Our assaults on the ecosystem are so powerful, so numerous, so finely interconnected, that although the damage they do is clear, it is very difficult to discover how it was done. By which weapon? In whose hand? Are we driving the ecosphere to destruction simply by our growing numbers? By our greedy accumulation of wealth? Or are the machines which we have built to gain this wealth-the magnificent technology that now feeds us out of neat packages, that clothes us in man-made fibers, that surrounds us with new chemical creations-at fault? ~ Barry Commoner
Difficult Journeys quotes by Barry Commoner
Sometimes the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are presented as a hunting expeditions ("As British close in on Basra, Iraqis scurry away"; "Terror hunt snares twenty-five"; and "Net closes around Bin Laden") with enemy bases as animal nests ("Pakistanis give up on lair of Osama"; "Terror nest in Fallujah is attacked") from which the prey must be driven out ("Why Bin Laden is so difficult to smoke out"; "America's new dilemma: how to smoke Bin Laden out from caves"). We need to trap the animal ("Trap may net Taliban chief"; "FBI terror sting nets mosque leaders") and lock it in a cage ("Even locked in a cage, Saddam poses serious danger"). Sometimes the enemy is a ravening predator ("Chained beast - shackled Saddam dragged to court"), or a monster ("The terrorism monster"; "Of monsters and Muslims"), while at other times he is a pesky rodent ("Americans cleared out rat's nest in Afghanistan"; "Hussein's rat hole"), a venomous snake ("The viper awaits"; "Former Arab power is 'poisonous snake'"), an insect ("Iraqi forces find 'hornet's nest' in Fallujah"; "Operation desert pest"; "Terrorists, like rats and cockroaches, skulk in the dark"), or even a disease organism ("Al Qaeda mutating like a virus"; "Only Muslim leaders can remove spreading cancer of Islamic terrorism"). In any case, they reproduce at an alarming rate ("Iraq breeding suicide killers"; "Continent a breeding ground for radical Islam"). ~ David Livingstone Smith
Difficult Journeys quotes by David Livingstone Smith
I am beginning now to see how radically the character of my spiritual journey will change when I no longer think of God as hiding out and making it as difficult as possible for me to find him, but instead as the one who is looking for me while I am doing the hiding ... ~ Henri Nouwen
Difficult Journeys quotes by Henri Nouwen
Someone once said that we get more difficult to love with each passing year because, over time, our histories grow so tangled that newcomers can no longer bushwhack their way into the thicketed and overgrown depths of our hearts. ~ Adrian Barnes
Difficult Journeys quotes by Adrian Barnes
One of the more difficult things about being a judge is as you're listening to the evidence, you have to be formulating how you're going to explain your evaluation of that evidence. ~ Steven Pacey
Difficult Journeys quotes by Steven Pacey
Mind is tricky. If I say this is very difficult, the mind says, "This is so difficult it is beyond you." If I say this is very simple, the mind says, "This is so simple that only fools can believe in it." And mind goes on rationalizing things, always escaping from doing. ~ Osho
Difficult Journeys quotes by Osho
Conversation is a gentle art that requires a degree of kindness sometimes. If this seems difficult don't forget that there are probably times when someone patiently and graciously let you ramble on about something that had no interest to them. Sometimes ~ Gary Allman
Difficult Journeys quotes by Gary Allman
I have learned that bitterness, resentment and self-pity do nothing to lift the gloomy clouds of a spiritual February in my life. If anything, these sins only harden the soil of my heart, making it difficult for new growth to spring forth at God's appointed time. ~ Katherine J. Walden
Difficult Journeys quotes by Katherine J. Walden
Christian Love is when you care about people for who they are and seek to encourage them as they walk on the same difficult path that you are walking on. Everyone has struggles in this life and it is a Christian's duty to help others around them and look out for the interests of others before their own. ~ Anya VonderLuft
Difficult Journeys quotes by Anya VonderLuft
Most Americans think of Rosa Parks as a demur, pleasant-enough seamstress who backed into history by being too tired to get out of her seat on a bus one day, in reality she had been trained in nonviolence spirit and tactics at a famous institution, Highlander Folk School. It seems to be a difficult concept for most of us that peace is a skill that can be learned. We know war can be learned, but we seem to think that one becomes a peacemaker by a mere change of heart. (23) ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Difficult Journeys quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Some people make it extremely difficult to continue believing that complaining is not one of the basic human needs. ~ Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Difficult Journeys quotes by Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave. ~ Henry Peter Brougham
Difficult Journeys quotes by Henry Peter Brougham
Each of us is called upon to take a stand. So in these days ahead, as we examine ourselves and each other, our works, our fears, our differences, our sisterhood and survivals, I urge you to tackle what is most difficult for us all, self-scrutiny of our complacencies, the idea that since each of us believes she is on the side of right, she need not examine her position. ~ Audre Lorde
Difficult Journeys quotes by Audre Lorde
You have had many sadnesses, large ones, which passed. And you say that even this passing was difficult and upsetting for you. But please, ask yourself whether these large sadnesses haven't rather gone right through you. Perhaps many things inside you have been transformed; perhaps somewhere, deep inside your being, you have undergone important changes while you were sad. The only sadnesses that are dangerous and unhealthy are the ones that we carry around in public in order to drown them out with the noise. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Difficult Journeys quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
Between what a man calls me and what he simply calls mine the line is difficult to draw. We feel and act about certain things that are ours very much as we feel and act about ourselves. ~ William James
Difficult Journeys quotes by William James
This isn't just Flint's fight. We built all our cities out of lead. We were sure we could make this metal work for us. History revealed a pattern of poisoning, but we were certain that we could contain it, control it. Progress came when we acknowledged how terribly harmful lead is and instituted anti-lead laws that reduced our exposure to one of the world's best-known neurotoxins. But the next great challenge - a tremendously difficult one - is reckoning with the lead that is still in our environment. Individual solutions, from purchasing bottled water and investing in private purification devices, isn't enough. As the nineteenth-century water wars revealed, a community is not safe and certainly will not thrive if only some have access to clean water and others do not. Infrastructure, the ties that literally bind us, one to another, requires our consistent care and attention. At a certain point, 'doing more with less' no longer functions as a mandate. Sometimes less is just less. Public health historians Gerald Markowitz and David Rosner put it this way: 'If the history of lead poisoning has taught us anything, it is that the worlds we as a society construct, or at least allow to be built in our name, to a large extent determine how we live and how we die. ~ Anna Clark
Difficult Journeys quotes by Anna  Clark
Indeed, the case very often such, by the seeming calls of Providence, as made it extremely difficult for him to do more than his strength would admit of. Yea, his circumstances and the business of his mission ... were such that great fatigues and hardships were altogether inevitable. ~ Jonathan Edwards
Difficult Journeys quotes by Jonathan Edwards
Our predicament is not the difficulty of attaining happiness, but the difficult of avoiding the misery to which the pursuit of happiness exposes us. ~ Michael Joseph Oakeshott
Difficult Journeys quotes by Michael Joseph Oakeshott
It was better to meet friends at their houses, their mother, Aurora, explained, because Dad had a lot of breakable things around the farm.
One of the breakable things: Aurora Lynch. Golden-haired Aurora was the obvious queen of a place like the Barns, a gentle and joyous ruler of a peaceful and secret country.
She was a patron of her sons' fanciful arts (although Declan, the eldest, was rarely fanciful), and she was a tireless playmate in her sons' games of make-believe (although Declan, the eldest, was rarely playful).
She loved Niall, of course – everyone loved larger-than-life Niall, the braggart poet, the musician king – but unlike everyone else, she preferred him in his silent moods.
She loved the truth, and it was difficult to love both the truth and Niall Lynch when the latter was speaking. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Difficult Journeys quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
It is difficult to know oneself, but it isn't easy to paint oneself either. ~ Vincent Van Gogh
Difficult Journeys quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
You can strive in life with courage, faith and hope. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Difficult Journeys quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Some of the simplest things in like are the most difficult to imagine. ~ Lemony Snicket
Difficult Journeys quotes by Lemony Snicket
It's always difficult to watch someone you love die. ~ Mitch Albom
Difficult Journeys quotes by Mitch Albom
Okay, you've got to do something very difficult. Don't focus on that. Instead break it down into pieces. Simply do what you need to do right now. And do it well. And then move on to the next thing. Follow the process and not the prize. The ~ Ryan Holiday
Difficult Journeys quotes by Ryan Holiday
By definition, risk-takers often fail. So do morons. In practice it's difficult to sort them out. ~ Scott Adams
Difficult Journeys quotes by Scott Adams
Juggling many projects and having all these accidental collisions that you can't predict enables a kind of comparative thinking. To focus on a single project from beginning to end is extremely difficult, not just for me, but for many people. ~ Natalie Jeremijenko
Difficult Journeys quotes by Natalie Jeremijenko
For a moment something struggles inside her. Then her mind empties and she surrenders. Fighting fate is too difficult. She must save herself to fight whatever fate throws up. ~ Michael Robotham
Difficult Journeys quotes by Michael Robotham
He was a worker whose only desire was to penetrate with all his forces into the humble and difficult significance of his tools. Therein lay a certain renunciation of Life, but in just this renunciation lay his triumph, for Life entered into his work. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Difficult Journeys quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
A leader will find it difficult to articulate a coherent vision unless it expresses his core values, his basic identity ... one must first embark on the formidable journey of self-discovery in order to create a vision with authentic soul. ~ Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Difficult Journeys quotes by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
F a physician of high standing, and one's own husband, assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing the matter with one but temporary nervous depression - a slight hysterical tendency - what is one to do? ...
So I take phosphates or phosphites - whichever it is, and tonics, and journeys, and air, and exercise, and am absolutely forbidden to "work" until I am well again.
Personally, I disagree with their ideas ... ~ Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Difficult Journeys quotes by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
It was so difficult for the fans to understand my problems with baseball. ~ Curt Flood
Difficult Journeys quotes by Curt Flood
You can do anything you decide to do. ~ Amelia Earhart
Difficult Journeys quotes by Amelia Earhart
When I said a few weeks ago that our people would eat cooking oil and olives if necessary, I didn't mean that there really would be only oil and olives. What I meant was that our people have the necessary patience to endure the current difficult situation. Palestinians would rather do without certain food items than their national rights. ~ Ismail Haniyeh
Difficult Journeys quotes by Ismail Haniyeh
The digital revolution has wrest a little control away from corporate publishers and white, male, middle-aged critics, but the financial value put on the job of the writer and the misconceptions around that make it extremely difficult to enter the profession. ~ Sara Sheridan
Difficult Journeys quotes by Sara Sheridan
When the period arrives - come when it may - that this government will be compelled to resort to internal taxes for its support in time of peace, it will mark one of the most difficult and dangerous stages through which it is destined to pass. ~ John C. Calhoun
Difficult Journeys quotes by John C. Calhoun
It may be difficult, but God will not allow a challenge to come into our lives unless He has a divine purpose for it. I've found that nothing happens to us; it happens for us. If we keep the right attitude, God will always use it for our good. ~ Joel Osteen
