15 Quotes For When The Going Gets Tough

15 Quotes For When The Going Gets Tough

Ciao tutti! 🙂

Today’s post is a collection of some special quotes that I turn to when I need a little extra help.  Quotes can seem clichĂ© since they pop up practically everywhere now and can therefore lose their meaning a bit. But some can really strike a chord inside and help keep things in perspective, especially when you’re going through a tough moment.

Another thing I find comforting in quotes like these are that they remind me that someone else has experienced the same feelings I’m feeling.  No matter the specific circumstance, pain is pain and obstacles are in everyone’s story. So with that reminder that we are all in this together, here are my favorite quotes that help lift me through difficult moments. 🙂

        Your pics of Italy are fantastic too. It really gives it a “local” perspective, like the hidden little beach, the shot from the motorcycle on the mountain road…very nice. Very authentic.

        Sometimes it’s the little out of the way places that only the locals know about that make it worth while….buon lavoro!
