Every great work, every big accomplishment, has been brought into manifestation through holding to the vision, and often just before the big achievement, comes apparent failure and discouragement.
Most people say that it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character.
That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well.
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.
