The only person standing in your way is staring back at you in the mirror.
A father who denies a child of his attention is no better than a fully-equipped medic who watches idly as a soldier bleeds to death.
Determination is frequently found in failure, but it is never found in defeat.
Rejoice in liberating moments of victory when conflicts, trials, and adversity fall momentarily under your command.
Pessimists beat their heads against walls, while optimists open doors.
Arrogance cometh before reality.
