There is no failure for the man who realizes his power, who never knows when he is beaten; there is no failure for the determined endeavor; the unconquerable will. There is no failure for the man who gets up every time he falls, who rebounds like a rubber ball, who persists when everyone else gives up, who pushes on when everyone else turns back.

Mary wished to say something very sensible, but knew not how.

Jane Austen

Some people like you, some people don't. In the end you just have to be yourself.

Andres Iniesta

Everyone is a genius at least once a year; a real genius has his original ideas closer together.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

Trust in the person's promise, who dares to refuse what they fear they cannot perform.

C. H. (Charles Haddon) Spurgeon

Youth, what man's age is like to be, doth show; We may our ends by our beginnings know.

Sir John Denham

Jesus wept Voltaire smiled. From that divine tear and from that human smile is derived the grace of present civilization.

Victor Hugo

Wealth is not a matter of intelligence it's a matter of inspiration.

Jim Rohn

Some of you, we all know, are poor, find it hard to live, are sometimes, as it were, gasping for breath. I have no doubt that some of you who read this book are unable to pay for all the dinners which you have actually eaten, or for the coats and shoes which are fast wearing or are already worn out, and have come to this page to spend borrowed or stolen time, robbing your creditors of an hour. It is very evident what mean and sneaking lives many of you live, for my sight has been whetted by experience; always on the limits, trying to get into business and trying to get out of debt, a very ancient slough, called by the Latins aes alienum, another's brass, for some of their coins were made of brass; still living, and dying, and buried by this other's brass; always promising to pay, promising to pay, tomorrow, and dying today, insolvent; seeking to curry favor, to get custom, by how many modes, only not state-prison offences; lying, flattering, voting, contracting yourselves into a nutshell of civility or dilating into an atmosphere of thin and vaporous generosity, that you may persuade your neighbor to let you make his shoes, or his hat, or his coat, or his carriage, or import his groceries for him; making yourselves sick, that you may lay up something against a sick day, something to be tucked away in an old chest, or in a stocking behind the plastering, or, more safely, in the brick bank; no matter where, no matter how much or how little.

Henry David Thoreau

To find the exact answer, one must first ask the exact question.

S. Tobin Webster

But as she continued and finished her tale, I could tell that her heart was elsewhere, and when she excused herself to go to bed, she left without saying good night. After that, the princesses in her stories were always beautiful. Always.

Kelly Barnhill

Nor dread nor hope attend a dying animal a man awaits his end dreading and hoping all.

William Butler Yeats

There is a limit at which forbearance ceases to be a virtue.

Edmund Burke
