Of course I would have preferred success; but failing in that, I have no regrets for having rejected all advice to the contrary, and resolutely made the struggle.

There are few misfortunes in this world that you cannot turn into a personal triumph if you have the iron will and the necessary skill.

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

Difficulties break some men but make others. No axe is sharp enough to cut the soul of a sinner who keeps on trying, one armed with the hope that he will rise even in the end.

You become strong by defying defeat and by turning loss and failure into success.

If you can't fly, run; if you can't run, walk; if you can't walk, crawl; but by all means keep moving.
