The word impossible is not French.

The more people tell you it's not possible, that it can't be done, the more you should be absolutely determined to prove them wrong. Treat the word "impossible" as nothing more than motivation.

I start out by believing the worst.

The truest wisdom is a resolute determination.

The stupid speak of the past, the wise of the present, and fools of the future.

It is only by prudence, wisdom, and dexterity, that great ends are attained and obstacles overcome. Without these qualities nothing succeeds.
