Struggle

Famous quotes containing the word struggle:

    “Doubt is an uneasy and dissatisfied state from which we struggle to free ourselves and pass into the state of belief; while the latter is a calm and satisfactory state which we do not wish to avoid, or to change to a belief in anything else.”
    —Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    “The force of the blow depends on the resistance. It is sometimes better not to struggle against temptation. Either fly or yield at once.”
    —F.H. (Francis Herbert)

    “Parenting is a profoundly reciprocal process: we, the shapers of our children’s lives, are also being shaped. As we struggle to be parents, we are forced to encounter ourselves; and if we are willing to look at what is happening between us and our children, we may learn how we came to be who we are.”
    —Augustus Y. Napier (20th century)
