Where there's a will there's a way

Where there's a will there's a way

There is nothing stronger than..., the will can overcome all obstacles and difficulties along the way.

(“There is nothing that stands before saving a life” – Ketubot 19a; also: “All things in the world depend only on will” – Zohar vol. II (Shemot) Parashat Terumah 162; also: “I am hereby doing his will and responding to his question briefly, even though I am surrounded by many troubles as is known, still, nothing stands before the will, especially after he urged me orally and in writing to answer his question” – Responsa Minchat Yitzchak, part IX, section 90)
