If you run into a brick wall, don't become discouraged. A brick wall is only held together by cement, but you are held together by God. The right tool and the use of force can tear down its wall, while you are still standing.

About This Quote

If you run into a brick wall, don't become discouraged. A brick wall is only held together by cement, but you are held together by God. The right tool and the use of force can tear down its wall, while you are still standing. This quote is said to be spoken by the Greek philosopher Heraclitus.

Heraclitus believed that people could not understand the universe because they were too focused on what they perceived as reality versus reality itself. While this concept is quite philosophical it can also be applied to real life. When you run into a brick wall it's important to use your time wisely and think about how to destroy that wall piece by piece or break through it entirely.

If you give up, the wall will always be there waiting for you to fall back into it.
