The work of many of the greatest men, inspired by duty, has been done amidst suffering and trial and difficulty. They have struggled against the tide, and reached the shore exhausted.Samuel Smiles
Select Samuel Smiles Quotations
A place for everything, and everything in its place.
Samuel Smiles
Life will always be to a large extent what we ourselves make it.
Samuel Smiles
The reason why so little is done, is generally because so little is attempted.
Samuel Smiles
I'm as happy a man as any in the world, for the whole world seems to smile upon me!
Samuel Smiles
The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill; and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success; if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved.
Samuel Smiles
We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.
Samuel Smiles
It is a mistake to suppose that men succeed through success; they much oftener succeed through failures. Precept, study, advice, and example could never have taught them so well as failure has done.
