“There was a whole language that I could never make function for myself; it revolved around words like 'tortured', 'struggle'. 'pain'.. .I could never see these qualities in paint - I could see them in life and art that illustrates life. But I could not see such conflicts in the materials and I knew that it had to be in the attitude of the painter.” ArtWholePainLanguageAttitudeQualityStruggleMaterialsConflictFunctionPaintPainter Author:Robert Rauschenberg
“For me, life is about continuously being hungry. It's meaning is not simply to just exist or to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer. Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength. We all have great power. That power is self-faith. There's really an attitude to winning. You have to see yourself winning before you win. And you have to be hungry. You have to want to conquer.” WantDoeSelfMovingLife IsWinningAttitudeStruggleAchieveSurrenderHungryConquerHardshipGreat PowerMoving AheadGreat Bodybuilding Author:Arnold Schwarzenegger
“A life without an objective is much like a ship at sea with no port in mind. It drifts with the waves or storms, or with the whim of the captain. They are tempted to ask, amidst the battles of life, "Is the struggle worth-while?" That attitude lessens the joy of living. They who say that there is no purpose in life are not unhappy, but become dangerous to themselves and others, for they have no safe guide for their actions. Indeed, life has not objective save physical satisfactions, it is empty and valueless.” MindActionLife IsJoyPurposeAsksAttitudeStruggleSeaDangerousBattleSafeEmptyWaveSatisfactionStormGuidesUnhappyObjectivesShipsPurpose Of LifeCaptainsTemptedPortWhimJoy Of LivingShips At SeaValuelessBattle Of Life Author:John Andreas Widtsoe

“I think it's important for us to recognize that although historically black communities have been very progressive with respect to issues of race and with respect to struggles for racial equality, that does not necessarily translate into progressive positions on gender issues, progressive positions on issues of sexuality and in the latter 1990s we have to recognize the intersectionality, the interconnectedness of all of these institutions and attitudes.” ThinkingDoeHas BeensImportantBlackCommunityRaceAttitudeStruggleIssuesPositionInstitutionsGenderSexualityLatterProgressiveTranslateInterconnectednessIntersectionalityBlack CommunityRacial EqualityGender Issues Author:Angela Davis

“Too many Americans who struggle with mental health illnesses are suffering in silence rather than seeking help, and we need to see to it that men and women who would never hesitate to go see a doctor if they had a broken arm or came down with the flu, that they have that same attitude when it comes to their mental health.” IfsMenNeedsHelpingSufferingSilenceAttitudeStruggleBrokenArmsMen And WomenDoctorsMental HealthIllnessSeekingFluSeeking Help Author:Barack Obama
