I know of no higher fortitude than stubborness in the face of overwhelming odds.
--
My Life in Court (1961).Louis Nizer
You’ll face overwhelming odds; you’ll be incredibly outnumbered. Fear would be your natural inclination. But keep in mind, God is with you.
James MacDonald
The more I write the less substance do I see in my work, ... It is tolerably awful. And I face it, I face it but the fright is growing on me. My fortitude is shaken by the view of the monster. It does not move; its eyes are baleful; it is as still as death itself — and it will devour me. Its stare has eaten into my soul already deep, deep.
Joseph Conrad
And how am I to face the odds
Of man’s bedevilment and God’s?
I, a stranger and afraid
In a world I never made.A. E. Housman
Sometimes we see people persevering in the face of what seem to be insuperable odds. When that happens, I can't help but think that through their Plus Factor information has been conveyed to them that even they are unaware of.
Norman Vincent Peale
The odds on any intelligent person having an unhappy childhood are better than fair, and the odds on a sad ending are practically off the board.
