I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed. — Michael Jordan

Not much music left inside us for life to dance to. Our youth has gone to the ends of the earth to die in the silence of the truth. And where, I ask you, can a man escape to, when he hasn't enough madness left inside him? The truth is an endless death agony. The truth is death. You have to choose: death or lies. I've never been able to kill myself.

Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. ― Calvin Coolidge

The rain will stop, the night will end, the hurt will fade. Hope is never so lost that it can't be found.

I will persist until I succeed. I was not delivered into this world into defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepperd. I am lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny. I will persist until I succeed.
