“There will always be rocks in the road ahead of us. They will be stumbling blocks or stepping stones; it all depends on how you use them.”
“A stumbling block to the pessimist is a stepping-stone to the optimist.”
“One of the Secrets in Life is to Make Stepping Stones out of Stumbling Blocks.”
“The difference between stepping stones and stumbling blocks is not in the event itself but how you think about it and what you do after it. Every failure and setback can become part of your success or an excuse for quitting or failing. People who develop the discipline of positivity are both happier and more successful.”
“The best way to treat obstacles is to use them as stepping-stones. Laugh at them, tread on them, and let them lead you to something better.”
“Aye, and he falls for those ahead of him, who, though faster and surer of foot, yet removed not the stumbling stone.”
