Setback Quotations

Anytime you suffer a setback or disappointment, put your head down and plow ahead.
Les Brown

Abraham Lincoln comes from nothing, has no education, no money, lives in the middle of nowhere on the frontier.

Seth Graham-Smith

I knew that I did not have to buy into society's notion that I had to be handsome and healthy to be happy. I was in charge of my 'spaceship' and it was my up, my down. I could choose to see this situation as a setback or as a starting point. I chose to begin life again.
Warren Mitchell

People who make money often make mistakes, and even have major setbacks, but they believe they will eventually prosper, and they see every setback as a lesson to be applied in their move towards success.
Jerry Gillies

If you have any setback in your life, like not being in the England squad was for me - any setback, like losing a family member - everyone handles it in different ways. When I first wasn't included I was numb. I'd been the main England striker for years and years. It was really disappointing.
Michael J. Owen
