Tenka Kumō — memorable quote from Laughing Under the Clouds

“If you want to be strong, smile! He who can smile, even when he's so sad that he wants to die, when it's so painful that he wants to give it all up and run away, is the one who becomes strong.”

“Living has it own challenges. I'll give you just one piece of advice. Don't quit. Yes, when you die, you die. But if you give up, you're definitely going to die. That, I am sure of.”

“I should just do what I'm able to do. No matter how small it is, there's no need to feel ashamed.”

“If you realize you made a mistake with the way you've been living your life, you just have to take the next moment and start over.”

“Is "defeat" proof that you are weak? Isn't "defeat" more like a trial to overcome? Of whether you can stand up and walk again after falling to you knees? If you remain on your knees like that, then it would be a sign of weakness.”
