“If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.”
“Where the willingness is great, the difficulties cannot be great.”
“Every door is another passage, another boundary we have to go beyond.”
