For when you are trying very hard and not having any success

One step at a time.

You can't have it all.


When at first you don't succeed, try again.


When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.


Rome was not built in one day.


When you are not strong, you must be smart.


If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that suggests you are tried.


The road to success is always under construction.


If all else fails, manipulate the data.


If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.

Some very good expressions here! In English, we usually say: "When the going gets tough, the tough get going."

We say "the tough" as a plural, like "the English" or "the Chinese."

We use "tough" as a singular noun when we refer to a single dangerous-looking man: "A tough walked up to me and demanded money."
