《直到世界尽头》林丹经典语录
男人或许只有经历过失败和坎坷之后，才能成大事。 我是个有争议性的人物，这说明我还得努力，让自己更强，赢得让别人无话可说。 无论是爱情，工作还是生活方式，都不需要和别人比较，自己喜欢就好。 它们迎面而来，你扛住了，全世界都属于你。你若被打垮，脚下就是万丈深渊。 不是你今天感觉不好，就可以随随便便输掉的。 任何时候不要去怀疑自己，或是羡慕别人。做好自己，全力以赴地把握好每一天，不要太计较最终的结果。这个过程只是迟早和长短而已，最终都会有属于自己的天地和展现自己价值的一天。 通过自己的坚持和努力是可以做到让别人刮目相看的。 荣耀留在过去，未来更加可期。 要爬到山顶看一看，并不是那么容易的。一旦你有丝毫的放松，就很容易摔得粉身碎骨。
