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.

Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do.

Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.

Victory is for those who can say "Victory is mine". Success is for those who can begin saying "I will succeed" and say "I have succeeded" in the end.

There is something noble in hearing myself ill spoken of, when I am doing well.

Prison itself is a tremendous education in the need for patience and perseverance. It is above all a test of one's commitment.
