The phrase tough times never last has circulated for years as a piece of everyday motivational language, appearing in speeches, social captions and short-form video soundtracks rather than tied to one film or television scene. On soundboards it survives as a standalone voice clip because the wording needs no context to land. Creators reuse it whenever a narrative needs a quick emotional reset, and its short length makes it easy to loop, caption or layer under music without losing the message.
