Quote by Samuel Smiles
The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill and to win it

The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved. – Samuel Smiles
