"One who never turned his back but marched breast forward, never doubted clouds would break, Never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph, Held we fall to rise, are baffled to fight better, sleep to wake"

- Robert Browning

About this Quote

This quote by Robert Browning talks to the durability and determination of an individual who never ever gives up, even in the face of misfortune. The expression "never turned his back however marched breast forward" suggests that this person always deals with obstacles head on, never ever pulling back or retreating. They have an undeviating belief that the clouds will ultimately break and the sun will shine once again. They decline to entertain the idea that even when they are on the ideal side, they may still lose. Rather, they hold onto the idea that even in defeat, they will rise once again and be more powerful for it. This individual is not discouraged by problems, however rather utilizes them as inspiration to combat even harder. They understand that often we must fall in order to rise, which being baffled just makes us much better fighters. This quote is a pointer to never ever quit hope and to always keep progressing, no matter what challenges we may deal with.
