Face to face, difficulties which appear really insuperable at a distance are very often removed altogether from our path.

Difficulties mastered are opportunities won.

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.

The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire.

One of my greatest lessons has been to fully understand that what looks like a dark patch in the quest for success is the universe pointing you in a new direction. Anything can be a miracle, a blessing, an opportunity if you choose to see it that way.
