When the going gets tough the tough get going, or so the well-known phrase goes. But when times get hard it can be a struggle to find the determination and the motivation to keep going or to find the hope you need to get through the day. Recent events prove that the world is a very scary place, but, no matter how dire things may seem, there are always things that will give you hope – you just need to know where to look for them. Unfortunately, our world doesn’t have a real superman as shown in the movies to save us, but quotes can help us discover the inner superman in all of us.
The words of others can bring great strength in times of need which is why the words of famous leaders such as JFK, Martin Luther King, or Winston Churchill go down in history. However, even humble positive affirmations can become powerful mantras, giving you the strength and inspiration that you need to overcome your struggles. These quotes can make you feel like superman (or woman!) and can allow you to brush off criticism, doubt, and fear, and achieve your goals. Listed below are some such superman quotes to make you feel strong and inspired.
