If you need some encouraging quotes to help give you a lift back up, then here are some that may help. We all get hit and knocked down in life. It’s just part of the experience but it’s really not about avoiding these hits; it’s about being able to get back up every time you are knocked down. It’s not always easy to want to get back up. Often times, it’s a lot easier to just stay down but whether you stay down or get back up, life will still go on so you might as well fight.
Whatever you may be going through in your life, I hope these encouragement quotes will help you out at least a little bit. If you happen to know of any good phrases that fit this category, I encourage you to add them in the comments section below where you’ll find a lot more quotes. Thanks.

But if you realize what you always did then later you change that you aren’t doing what you always did in the first place. Therefore not doing what you always did.
Do what you need to do to make yourself successful. Because you are the one in control of your life,your dreams, and your reality.

dont let people bring you down, because what you think about yourself is what truly matters.
make the best of your life without letting others put you down. you only live once so make it worth living. do whatever you want to do and be whoever you want to be. don’t let other’s opinions matter.
Many of the quotes you have which you say unknown are Scripture for instance Proverbs 24:16 for a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again. and also the whatever you are going through someone else has………… that is found in the New Testament – and I do not have the exact chapter and verse –
thought you might want to know
Let your knowledge inspire others not bring them down…
YOUR CURRENT SITUATION IS NOT YOUR FINAL DESTINATION.

i can't changed my past but i can let go and start my future.

There is a time and place for everything. To your own self be true. Teach by example. Live and let live. Do onto others as you would them do onto you. Laughter is the best medicine. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. It takes a village to raise a child. There iS noThing new under the sun. Home is where the. Heart is. Charity begin at home. Children learn what they live. When lie hands you lemons make lemonade. Where there is life there is hope. Action speak louder than words. Aim for the moon because even if you miss you will land among the stars. You have two ears to listen and one mouth to speak you should listen twice as much as you speak. When God closes a door he opens a window. Try try again. Anything worth having is worth working for. Fools rush in where. Wise men dare to tread. If you are not a part of the solution you are part of the problem. Self preservation is the first law of nature. If you don’t have something nice to say don’t say anything. You are your brothers keeper.

If
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream – and not make dreams your master;
If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on”;
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings – nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run –
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And – which is more – you’ll be a Man my son!
~Kipling
This is one of my most favorite poems. I gave this to my son. It is the best piece of poetry and advice I’ve ever read.
Rest if U must, but DON’T Quit…
It doesn’t matter if they look down to you.The important is you don’t look down to them.
There is only one angle from which to look at life. The TRY-angle.
One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. Three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don’t throw it away.
I believe the simplest explanation is, there is no God. No one created the universe and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization that there probably is no heaven and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe and for that, I am extremely grateful.
You Jimmy are a FOOL.
happy are those who dream dreams and are ready to pay the prices of making their dreams come true
One great lesson I learned from my life..there is no market for your emotions, so never advertise your feelings, just show your attitude.
That is a great way of wording it.
nice 1
Challenges makes you more responsible. Always remember that life without struggle is a life without success. Don’t give up and learn not to quit.
We hold this truth to be self evident that all men are created equal.. If you do have challenges in life, it means you’re strong enough to solve it. Every one of us has its own purpose in this world. Even a single piece of sand was given a task by GOD here on earth. There are many problems that we need to tackle. So be prepared and do whatever you can do.. God is always there to assist us and guide us..
It doesn’t matter how many times you failed..what matters is you stand and try again.
No matter how things go wrong..just make sure that giving up is not part of an option!
If you believe you are good at failing, try failing at failing.
-myself
Without failures, success would be easy and not an accomplishment. And never forget success is all perspective. What you may not have succeeded at directly, you may have succeeded numerous ways indirectly.
Be the sun in your own universe. Do not revolve around others, but let them revolve around you if they need your light to see.
The truly blessed life comes not from getting or from doing but from being
If you never take action…you’ll never reach it
It doesn’t matter how dark is your room, but what makes it worse is you do not even want to find the switch to turn on the light. everyone has a switch in their life. no matter how dark is your life, just switch on your light.
“When knocked to your knees, therein lies your strength”

“The darkest night is often the bridge to the brightest tomorrow.”
When I was a child, I criticised my father. Now that I am a father, I look to my son for understanding. Between being a child and becoming a man, I have learnt not to criticise a situation I haven’t had to deal with. – Kelvin Abdallah

Life makes you or break you ….when you are broken don’t get depress for that is just giving GOD the perfect opportunity to mend you how he wants you …..
