Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.

I never lose, I either win or learn

There are few misfortunes in this world that you cannot turn into a personal trimuph if you have the iron will and the neccessary skill.

I never lose. I either win or I learn.

Style has a profound meaning to Black Americans. If we can't drive, we will invent walks and the world will envy the dexterity of our feet. If we can't have ham, we will boil chitterlings; if we are given rotten peaches, we will make cobblers; if given scraps, we will make quilts; take away our drums, and we will clap our hands. We prove the human spirit will prevail. We will take what we have to make what we need. We need confidence in our knowledge of who we are.

Never feel shame for trying and failing, for he who never failed is he who never tried.

Whenever you make a mistake or get knocked down by life, don't look back at it too long. Mistakes are life's way of teaching you. Your capacity for occasional blunders is inseparable from your capacity to reach your goals. No one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth. Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come.

To tell the truth, I like the concept of evil people who eliminated each other, in a chain.

Failure is God's way of saying, "Excuse me, you're moving in the wrong direction."

Experience is merely the name men gave to their mistakes.

Never let the sense of past failure defeat your next step.

Often failure is the workroom God uses in our lives to reform us to be what we need to be in order to be more successful tools in his hands.
