"When on the brink of complete discouragement,..." - Quote by Elbert Hubbard

“Do not dump your woes upon people — keep the sad story of your life to yourself. Troubles grow by recounting them.”

“Men are rich only as they give. He who gives great service gets great rewards.”

“Men who sit back and pride themselves on their culture haven't any to speak of.”

“Let every one ascertain his special business and calling, and then stick to it if he wants to be successful.”

“Men succeed when they realize that their failures are the preparation for their victories.”

“Results, are the name of the game.”

“I could not sit seriously down to write a serious Romance under any other motive than to save my life, & if it were indispensable for me to keep it up & never relax into laughing at myself or other people, I am sure I should be hung before I had finished the first chapter. No - I must keep my own style & go on in my own way; and though I may never succeed again in that, I am convinced that I should totally fail in any other.”

“The habit of giving up when the present task is half finished and try something else is one of the chief causes of failure.”

“I will persist until I succeed. I was not delivered into this world into defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepperd. I am lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny. I will persist until I succeed.”
