Rick Majerus Quotes

Never get too high; never get too low.

Life can't always be good, and life can't always be bad. That just holds true. I've learned a lot from that statement, and I think about it, all the time.

All things entail rising and falling timing. You must be able to discern this.

The middle way is a view of life that avoids the extreme of misguided grasping born of believing there is something we can find, or buy, or cling to that will not change. And it avoids the despair and nihilism born from the mistaken belief that nothing matters, that all is meaningless.

When you succeed, you know, you can get swell-headed or you can be failing, and then you are all down in doldrums. So I try, as much as possible, to keep an even keel.

I think the strength of the man is to have the right balance. Not to be so high when you win; not to be so down when you lose.

When priorities are proper, the power to endure is increased. And when internalized, those priorities will help keep you from "going overboard."

But the world moves on, even when you don't want it to, even when change feels like the end of everything. It never stops.

If you're going through difficult times today, hold steady. It will change soon. If you are experiencing smooth sailing and easy times now, brace yourself. It will change soon. The only thing you can be certain of is change.

My point is, life is about balance. The good and the bad. The highs and the lows. The pina and the colada.

How much can come And much can go, And yet abide the world!

The basic rules of life would indicate that it can't last forever, and we'll fall off of the wave and have to climb onto another, but I don't think about it too much. We just keep moving.

You touch things lightly or deeply; you move along because life herself moves, and you can’t stop it.

None of us can know what tomorrow will hold, because each day has its good and its bad moments.

It is as hard to take success as it is failure.

I'm keen to have balance, as much as possible.

Life goes on, unmindful of beginning, end…crisis or catharsis, moving forward like a slow, dusty caravan of kochis (nomads).

It is always the way of events in this life,...no sooner have you got settled in a pleasant resting place, than a voice calls out to you to rise and move on, for the hour of repose is expired.

Life has a way of overgrowing its achievements as well as its ruins.

A change of fortune hurts a wise man no more than a change of the moon.

Let the mind be cheerful but calm. Never let it run into excesses, because every excess will be followed by a reaction.

No. The universe has to move forward. Pain and loss, they define us as much as happiness or love. Whether it's a world, or a relationship... Everything has its time. And everything ends.

No storm lasts forever no matter what it is. Nature builds calmness within its storms. That's true in our own lives as well. When you reach the zenith of where you are going in your life, or in a relationship; the only place you can go is down or up. That's the nature of this universe; a cyclical thing. The seasons, the moon; everything has a cycle to it.

A capacity to change is indispensable. Equally indispensable is the capacity to hold fast to that which is good.
