A Quote by Geoffrey Canada

Consider the possibility that the little obstacles in life are not obstacles at all, but stepping stones.

Neale Donald Walsch

We do not live in a time when knowledge can be extended along a pathway smooth and free from obstacles, as at the time of the discovery of the infinitesimal calculus, and in a measure also when in the development of projective geometry obstacles were suddenly removed which, having hemmed progress for a long time, permitted a stream of investigators to pour in upon virgin soil. There is no longer any browsing along the beaten paths; and into the primeval forest only those may venture who are equipped with the sharpest tools.

Heinrich Burkhardt

Obstacles are only obstacles if you see them as obstacles. They can also be called opportunities.

Tucker Max

Why do some people, when they want to practice, keep coming against problems and difficulties, and obstacles - inner obstacles and outer obstacles? It's because of the lack of merit.

Tenzin Palmo

A child's character develops in accordance with the obstacles he has encountered... or the freedom favoring his development that he has enjoyed.

Maria Montessori

Remember, success is not measured by heights attained but by obstacles overcome. We're going to pass through many obstacles in our lives: good days, bad days. But the successful person will overcome those obstacles and constantly move forward.

Bruce Jenner

The child is the spiritual builder of mankind, and obstacles to his free development are the stones in the wall by which the soul of man has become imprisoned.

Maria Montessori

Hunger, disease and poverty can lead to global instability and leave a vacuum for extremism to fill. So instead of just managing poverty, we must offer nations and people a pathway out of poverty. And as president I've made development a pillar of our foreign policy, alongside diplomacy and defense.

Barack Obama

Your obstacles define your achievements, and without those obstacles, you're just another bland nothing.

Torquil Campbell

Never allow others to put obstacles in the pathway of your dreams

John C. Maxwell

There is a part of me that's oblivious. People always ask me, 'What obstacles have you faced?' and I always think, 'What are you talking about?' Whether or not there were obstacles, I never saw obstacles. It's never occurred to me that I wasn't good enough for something.

Shonda Rhimes

Sometimes things which at the moment may be perceived as obstacles-and actually be obstacles, difficulties, or drawbacks-can in the long run result in some good end which would not have occurred if it had not been for the obstacle.

Steve Allen

There are always going to be obstacles. I think the bigger your aspirations, the larger the obstacles.

Kathryn Minshew

It's part of life to have obstacles. It's about overcoming obstacles; that's the key to happiness.

Herbie Hancock

If man could write his own fate, he would have designed his journey to be without obstacles. Yet all obstacles come with valuable lessons designed just for you and only you. Suffering is imposed on us time and again so that one day we would become brave wise masters. That is, a strong being who is confidently aware of their intended direction in life, and fearlessly adding value to the world and their future.
