I’ll just copy in the quotes from my FB page…you can see if any of them are what you are looking for.
“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired and success achieved.” ~Helen Keller

“Minds, like bodies, will often fall into a pimpled, ill-conditioned state from mere excess of comfort.”
~Charles Dickens
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.”
~Marianne Williamson

“Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure… than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.”

“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals.”
~Sydney Smith
“You must have long term goals to keep you from being frustrated by short term failures.”
