“We can only do the best we can with what we have. That, after all, is the measure of success: what we do with what we have.”

“Fret not, my son. None of us is perfect. It is better to have crooked legs than a crooked spirit. We can only do the best we can with what we have. That, after all, is the measure of success: what we do with what we have.”

“A fine and beautiful life lies before thee, because thou hast a lively mind and a good wit. Thine arms are very strong and sturdy. Swimming hath helped to make them so, but only because thou hast had the will to do it. Fret not, my son. None of us is perfect. It is better to have crooked legs than a crooked spirit. We can only do the best we can with what we have. That, after all, is the measure of success: what we do with what we have.”

“We do not choose what happens to us. We can only choose what we do after. What we do now. We can only choose to keep going.”

“We do what we have to so we can do what we want to.”

“We do what we have to so we can do what we want to”
