I don’t look to jump over 7-foot bars: I look around for 1-foot bars that I can step over.
Being an entrepreneur is like eating glass and staring into the abyss of death.
The very first company I started failed with a great bang. The second one failed a little bit less, but still failed. The third one, you know, proper failed, but it was kind of okay.

Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.
Failure is success if we learn from it.
Never give in and never give up.
Don’t give up. There are too many nay-sayers out there who will try to discourage you. Don’t listen to them. The only one who can make you give up is yourself.

No matter what happens, it is within my power to turn it to my advantage.
What ought one to say then as each hardship comes? I was practicing for this, I was training for this.
If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn’t lead anywhere.
In case of doubt, push on just a little further and then keep on pushing.
There is no obstacle too great, no challenge too difficult, if we have faith.
If Life Gets Too Hard To Stand, Kneel.
While they were saying among themselves it cannot be done, it was done.
