“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though chequered by failure, than to take rank with those poor souls who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the grey twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.”
― Theodore Roosevelt

“Do not enter with defeat in your heart for that is the first victory of evil.”
― Margaret Weis, Dragons of Winter Night

“A person's true nature is revealed at times of the greatest adversity.”
― Daisaku Ikeda

“He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness… Live, then and be happy beloved children of my heart and never forget that until the day when God shall deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is summed up in these two words – wait and hope.”
― Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
