Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.

Kites rise highest against the wind, not with it.

Sure I am this day we are masters of our fate, that the task which has been set before us is not above our strength; that its pangs and toils are not beyond our endurance. As long as we have faith in our own cause and an unconquerable will to win, victory will not be denied us.

It's no use saying, "We are doing our best." You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.

There are men in the world who derive as stern an exaltation from the proximity of disaster and ruin, as others from success.
