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 will be wounded many times in your life. You'll make mistakes. Some people will call them failures but I have learned that failure is really God's way of saying, "Excuse me, you're moving in the wrong direction." It's just an experience, just an experience.

What I know for sure is that there is no strength without challenge, adversity, resistance, and often pain.

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.

All life is experience, and one level is exchanged for another only when its lesson is learned.

Learn from every mistake, because every experience, particularly your mistakes, are there to teach you and force you into being more who you are.
