The 50 Best Resilience Quotes
The best resilience quotes resonate with something deep inside the human spirit. They endure because they touch the parts of us that are hurting, that are trying, the parts that say “Maybe I’m not enough for this.” The parts of us that hope our future is not determined by the stars, but by our own sweat. And the best quotes about resilience are handed down through the years, because they capture a tiny piece of the reality of being human – and like any good saying or fairytale, they condense and capture some essential characteristic of our experience.
I don’t know what you’re going through right now. Are you reading this to pump yourself up? Maybe for public speaking, maybe a business setback, maybe a difficult relationship? Are you scraping the bottom of your soul for the inspiration that you’re sure is hiding somewhere? Has your past left you with hidden needles in the haystack of your mind, that you’re only now starting to sift through? Or maybe, you’re reading this for a friend – someone you love, and your own words don’t seem like enough.
Well, take heart, reader. Some of the best minds have distilled some of humanity’s best wisdom, just for us. Be inspired, and then inspire others.
