“I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” — Michael Jordan · Nike advertisement, 1997
“Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small.” — Lao Tzu · Tao Te Ching
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” — Winston Churchill
