"Every knock is a boost...." - Quote by Elbert Hubbard

“Punishment - The justice that the guilty deal out to those that are caught.”

“I do not read a book; I hold a conversation with the author.”

“Strong men can always afford to be gentle. Only the weak are intent on giving as good as they get.”

“You will survive anything if you live your life from the point of view of truth.”

“Every fragile beauty, every perfect forgotten sentence, you grieve their going away, but that is not how it is. Where they come from never goes dry. It is an always flowing spring.”

“Since I won't let the critics seal my fate, they keep hollering I'm full of hate. But they don't really hurt me none, 'cause I'm doing good and having fun.”

“Adversity is prosperity to those who possess a great attitude.”

“It's not what happens to you that determines how far you will go in life; it is how you handle what happens to you.”

“The true test of a character is to face hard conditions with the determination to make them better.”
