Every Time We Fall

Our greatest glory is not in never falling; but in rising every time we fall.

- Oliver Goldsmith

Courage and Perseverance

Courage and Perseverance
have a magical talisman,
before which difficulties and
obstacles vanish into thin air.

- John Quincy Adams

Perseverance

Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

All Powerful

He who gains a victory over other men is strong, but he who gains a victory over himself is all powerful.

- Lao-tse

Never Give Up

When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.

- Harriet Beecher Stowe

Potentialities Unlimited

Rebellion against your handicaps gets you nowhere. Self pity gets you nowhere. One must have the adventurous daring to accept oneself as a bundle of possibilities and undertake the most interesting game in the world; making the most of one’s best.

- Harry Fosdick.

Faith and Courage

I have lived eighty- six years. I have watched men climb up to success; hundreds of them, and of all the elements that are important for success, the most important is faith. No great thing comes to any man unless he has courage.

- James Gibbons

Impossible To Fail

All that is necessary to break the spell of inertia and frustration is this: Act as if it is impossible to fail. That is the talisman, the formula, the command of right about face which turns us from failure towards success

- Dorothea Brande
