Never feel shame for trying and failing, for he who never failed is he who never tried.

Failure is a man's inability to reach his goals in life, whatever they may be

Remember that the most difficult tasks are consummated, not by a single explosive burst of energy or effort, but by the constant daily application of the best you have within you.

My dreams are worthless, my plans are dust, my goals are impossible. All are of no value unless they are followed by action.

The person who knows one thing and does it better than anyone else, even if it only be the art of raising lentils, receives the crown he merits. If he raises all his energy to that end, he is a benefactor of mankind and its rewarded as such.

You can never win when you wear the ugly cloak of self-pity and the sour sound of whining.

I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless, and retreat; for they are the words of fools.
