“A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.”

A failure is a man who has blundered but is not capable of cashing in on the experience.

The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.

There is no failure except in no longer trying.

To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.

The final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure criticism without resentment.

A successful person is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him or her.

We make our own fortunes and we call them fate.

Obstacles are those things you see when you take your eyes off the goal.
