Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically. The cataclysm has happened, we are among the ruins, we start to build up new little habitats, to have new little hopes. It is rather hard work: there is now no smooth road into the future: but we go round, or scramble over the obstacles. We’ve got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.

D. H. Lawrence

Obstacles are there to get around, climb over or scramble through.

Pat O'Shane

And the seasons they go 'round and 'round And the painted ponies go up and down We're captive on the carousel of time We can't return we can only look behind From where we came And go round and round and round In the circle game.

Joni Mitchell

Think about your future possibilities and the fact that your potential is virtually unlimited. You can do what you want to do and go where you want to go. You can be the person you want to be. You can set large and small goals and make plans and move step-by-step, progressively toward their realization. There are no obstacles to what you can accomplish except the obstacles that you create in your mind.

Brian Tracy

When I make a commitment to someone, it is for the smooth road and the rocky road.

Bob Casey, Jr.

I look at a stream and I see myself: a native South African, flowing irresistibly over hard obstacles until they become smooth and, one day, disappear - flowing from an origin that has been forgotten toward an end that will never be.

Miriam Makeba

Ride on! Rough-shod if need be, smooth-shod if that will do, but ride on! Ride on over all obstacles, and win the race!

David Copperfield

When I watched the first fight between Woodley and Thompson, and I want to make clear that I really admire both guys, for me the fight was really boring at UFC 205 because nobody pulled the trigger for three rounds. The fourth round there was a scramble and that was really exciting, but then the fifth round was so-so again.

Demian Maia

We want lives of simple, predictable ease-smooth, even trails as far as the eye can see-but God likes to go off-road.

Tony Snow

You cannot govern the creative impulse; all you can do is eliminate obstacles and smooth the way for it.

Kimon Nicolaides

In every attempt there are many obstacles to cope with, but gradually the path becomes smooth.

Swami Vivekananda

When a beautiful road ends, remember how it was to live it over again! When a hard road ends, remember how it was to get a lesson for the future!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

Comedy crowds - we always want to come out and ask you, 'How you feeling?' We always say that, 'By a round of applause, how do you feel?' Right? 'By a round of applause, how you feeling?' It's the only place in the world that you judge how you're feeling by a round of applause... There's never like a car accident, people all over the ground, people running over - 'Ma'am! Ma'am! By a round of applause, how do you feel? By a round of applause - she's not clapping!

Dane Cook
