“Achievement seems to be connected with action. Successful men and women keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit.”
– Conrad Hilton

“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to success is more important than any other one thing.”

-Abraham Lincoln

I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

-Michael Jordan

The great football coach Vince Lombardi had the right spirit. After a game in which the Green Bay Packers were defeated, one of the reports asked Lombardi how he felt about losing. Lombardi replied, “We didn’t lose, we just ran out of time.”
