- We too often let the material things serve as indicators that we're doing well, even though something inside us tells us that were not doing our best. That we are avoiding that which is hard, but also necessary. That we are shrinking from rather than vising to the challenges of the age.
- Barack Obama (1961 - ), Arizona State Commencement Speech, 2009
- I know starting careers in troubled times is a challenge, but it is also a privilege. Because it's moments like these that force us to try harder, dig deeper and to discover gifts we never knew we had. To find the greatness that lies within each of us. So don't ever shy away from that endeavor. Don't stop adding to your body of work. I can promise that you will be the better for that continued effort as will be this nation that we all love.
- Barack Obama (1961 - ), Arizona State Commencement Speech, 2009

It will only reinforce and deepen the political divides in our country. But if we choose to actively seek out information that challenges our assumptions and beliefs, perhaps we can begin to understand where the people who disagree with us are coming from.
- Barack Obama (1961 - ), University of Michigan Commencement, 2010
- Art does not exist only to entertain, but also to challenge one to think, to provoke, even to disturb, in a constant search for truth.
- Barbra Streisand (1942 - )

- Jennifer Hudson, I Got This: How I Changed My Ways and Lost What Weighed Me Down, 2012
- I am convinced that the world is not a mere bog in which men and women trample themselves in the mire and die. Something magnificent is taking place here amid the cruelties and tragedies, and the supreme challenge to intelligence is that of making the noblest and best in our curious heritage prevail.
- Charles Austin Beard (1874 - 1948)
- The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
- Martin Luther King Jr. (1929 - 1968), Strength to Love, 1963
- The great and invigorating influences in American life have been the unorthodox: the people who challenge an existing institution or way of life, or say and do things that make people think.
- William O. Douglas (1898 - 1980)
- Weary the path that does not challenge. Doubt is an incentive to truth and patient inquiry leadeth the way.
- Hosea Ballou (1796 - 1861)
- Aggression unchallenged is aggression unleashed.
- Phaedrus (15 BC - 50 AD)
