“Your failures and your faults, they stick with you. They glob into ugly, cancerous growths inside you and make you want to die.”

“This "Not Today" attitude of yours is a cancer. Cancer of the character. It stunts your growth.”

“Sticks and stones will break your bones, but failure will get you killed.”

“People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.”

“Does it make you brave to stick your hand in a bear's mouth? Would you do it again just because you didn't die?”

“Whenever you make a mistake or get knocked down by life, don't look back at it too long. Mistakes are life's way of teaching you. Your capacity for occasional blunders is inseparable from your capacity to reach your goals. No one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth. Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come.”
