And so we plough along, as the fly said to the ox.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Poet

Joy, temperance, and repose, slam the door on the doctor's nose.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Poet

Sometimes we may learn more from a man's errors, than from his virtues.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Poet

Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Poet

Adversity is like a strong wind. I don't mean just that it holds us back from places we might otherwise go. It also tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that afterward we see ourselves as we really are.

Arthur Golden Writer

Basically, you can live your life in one of two ways. You can let your brain run you the way it has in the past. You can let it flash any picture or sound or feeling, and you can respond automatically on cue, like a Pavlovian dog resp‎onding to a bell. Or you can choose to consciously run your brain yourself. You can implant the cues you want. You can take bad experiences and sap them of their strength and power. You can represent them to yourself in a way that no longer overpowers you, a way that "cuts them down" to a size where you know you can effectively handle things.

Tony Robbins Author

So many times we say that we can't serve God because we aren't whatever is needed. We're not talented enough or smart enough or whatever. But if you are in covenant with Jesus Christ, He is responsible for covering your weaknesses, for being your strength. He will give you His abilities for your disabilities!

Kay Arthur Author

Make sure you are doing what God wants you to do--then do it with all your strength.

George Washington 1st U.S. President

I'm continuing to work hard, not without periods of discouragement, but my strength comes back again.

Claude Monet Painter

I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds

Henry Rollins Musician
