Moliere "The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it." Edmund Burke "Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little." B. F. Skinner "A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying." Bear Grylls "Survival can be summed up in three words - never give up. That's the heart of it really. Just keep trying." Jack Ma "Never give up. Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will be sunshine." |
