It is easier to go down a hill than up, but the view is from the top.

Arnold Bennett
About This Quote

When it comes to the challenges that face us, not all of them are so much fun. It is easier to go down a hill than up. Going down may be easier, but it is rarely more fun. The view is from the top.

When we look back on life, we stop to enjoy the ride. We can see our mistakes at the bottom of the hill and know that no matter how hard things may have seemed, they were just as hard for everyone else involved. Nobody gets through life entirely unscathed.
