But man is not made for defeat,'he said. 'A man can be destroyed but not defeated.

Dwelling on negative thoughts is like fertilizing weeds.

As soon as the fear approaches near, attack and destroy it.

Man knows so much and does so little.

Failure cannot cope with persistence.

Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.

To stumble twice against the same stone is a proverbial disgrace.

The worst prison would be a closed heart.

Failure is simply an opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

Failure is the foundation of success, and the means by which it is achieved.

You will soon break the bow if you keep it always stretched.

A person should not be too honest. Straight trees are cut first and honest people are screwed first.
