Be of good cheer. Do not think of today's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere; and you will find a joy in overcoming obstacles. Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost.

We can do anything we want to if we stick to it long enough.

A bend in the road is not the end of the road…Unless you fail to make the turn.

Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.
