The ultimate measure of a man...
...is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
Martin Luther King. Jr.
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become something great.
Mark Twain
Winning isn't everything. Wanting to win is.
Catfish Hunter.
Either you decide to stay in the shallow end of the pool or you go out into the ocean.
Christopher Reeves
Success has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It's what you do for others.
Danny Thomas
Only those who dare to fail greatly ever achieve greatly.
Robert F. Kennedy.
This morning I made a relatively minor mistake as I was trying something for the first time. Someone said to me, "Oh well...you can't make a mistake if you don't do anything."
It's amazing how many strong people there are in the world. I mean really strong people, not people pumped up on HGH or steroids. Strength is something that helps you do the gentlest of tasks and make the toughest of choices for reasons that have nothing to do with yourself.

Experience is a very harsh teacher. It gives you what you need, knowledge, but just after you need it. But in that manner you learn, the awareness, becomes inate in a manner which simple granting of the knowledge without trial doesn't award.
Quite true but...I submit that sooner or later you can make some use of all experience. Even if it's just the opportunity to teach others. It's all a matter of actually putting the knowledge to work in some way.
