If you have made mistakes, even serious ones, there is always another chance for you. What we call failure is not the falling down but the staying down.

I am sad, sad as a circus-lioness, sad as an eagle without wings, sad as a violin with only one string and one that is broken, sad as a woman who is growing old.

Johnny Depp
