[table “112” could not be loaded /]The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
Michael Jordan

In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: It goes on.
Robert Frost
You must accept that you might fail; then, if you do your best and still don’t win, at least you can be satisfied that you’ve tried. If you don’t accept failure as a possibility, you don’t set high goals, you don’t branch out, you don’t try – you don’t take the risk.
Rosalyn Carter

If you hear a voice within you say you cannot paint, then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.
Vincent Van Gogh
Without self-confidence we are as babes in the cradles. And how can we generate this imponderable quality, which is yet so invaluable most quickly? By thinking that other people are inferior to oneself.
Virginia Woolf
Somehow I can’t believe that there are any heights that can’t be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.
Walt Disney
Character and personal force are the only investments that are worth anything.
Walt Whitman
Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortunes; but great minds rise above them.

Even if you are on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there!
