Mental toughness must be developed before you start fighting because you don't want to be that guy who quits in the ring.
We can all endure disaster and tragedy, and triumph over them-if we have to. We may not think we can, but we have surprisingly strong inner resources that will see us through if we will only make use of them. We are stronger than we think.
You must endure, and not cry out against that which cannot be avoided.
My whole thing is I don't want to break mentally. I want to find comfort in uncomfortable situations.
I've been in some seriously bad places playing golf and it's just part of the game. You're going to hit bad shots, you're going to be in bad spots, and each course, when you learn it, you learn where not to go.
We can more easily endure that which shames than that which vexes us.
My life has been extremely complicated. Not by choice at the beginning at all, but later on, I had become used to complication and went on accepting things that other people would have found too difficult to accept.
The strength I'm looking for isn't the type where you win or lose. I'm not after a wall that'll repel power coming from outside.

I'm not saying I like to be kicked, but it's good for me to feel I am in the game. Definitely. A motivation.
And bear unmov'd the wrongs of base mankind, The last, and hardest, conquest of the mind.
I am convinced that floods of personal disaster can never drown a determined revolutionary nor can the cumulus of misery that accompanies tragedy suffocate him.
Every superstar in this league, if you don't go through adversity, if you try to duck and dodge it, it's gonna damper your team.
I have to get comfortable with resistance, and even sometimes with hostility.
By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity--another man's I mean.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, 1835-1910
Nothing is more false and more indiscreet than always to want to choose what mortifies us in everything. By this rule a person would soon ruin his health, his business, his reputation, his relations with his relatives and friends, in fact every good work which Providence gives him.
Nothing makes a man broad-minded like adversity.
I am not the sort of player who runs away.
You got rid of them. Yes, that’s just like you. Getting rid of everything unpleasant instead of learning to put up with it. Whether ‘tis better in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them… But you don’t do either. Neither suffer nor oppose. You just abolish the slings and arrows. It’s too easy.
