“Life there was hard and it made people hard.”

“How easy life is when it's easy, and how hard when it's hard.”

“It's a hard life sometimes and the biggest temptation is to let how hard it is be an excuse to weaken”

“[...] live hard not soft; eat hard not soft; seek fiber in foods and in life.”

“Some people play hard to get; I play hard to want.”

“Life is so damned hard, so damned hard… It just hurts people and hurts people, until finally it hurts them so that they can't be hurt ever any more. That's the last and worst thing it does.”

“If you are willing to do only what’s easy, life will be hard. But if you are willing to do what’s hard, life will be easy.”

“Hard work is rewarding. Taking credit for other people's hard work is rewarding and faster.”

“Life is hard, so what?”

“Life is hard and then we die!”
