Success is like pumping an old well handle. You have to pump a very long time before you get water. But don't give up or you will have to start all over again.

You might not be what you say you are, but what you say, you are.

We can let our past [difficulties and failures] beat us or teach us [to be more knowledgeable, competent and realistic in the future]!

You must first put something into your life before you can get something out of it.

Always remember that your present situation is not your final destination. The best is yet to come.

Failure is an event, never a person; an attitude, not an outcome; a temporary inconvenience; a stepping stone. Our response to it determines just how helpful it can be.

Don't start your day with broken pieces of the past. Yesterday ended last night. Today is a brand new day and it's yours.
