"The attempt and not the deed confounds..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Death, not Romeo, take my maidenhead!”

“Reflection is the business of man; a sense of his state is his first duty: but who remembereth himself in joy? Is it not in mercy then that sorrow is allotted unto us?”

“O! for a muse of fire, that would ascend the brightest heaven of invention.”

“Failure builds muscle,determination, and dreams.”

“Success without fulfillment is failure.”

“They who have been bred in the school of politics fail now and always to face the facts. Their measures are half measures and makeshifts merely. They put off the day of settlement, and meanwhile the debt accumulates.”

“A new world will be won not by those who stand at a distance with their arms folded, but by those who are in the arena, whose garments are torn by storms and whose bodies are maimed in the course of the contest.”

“People often ask me how I keep my priorities straight in life and I tell them that it is done by constantly straightening them out!”

“Courage, hard work, self-mastery, and intelligent effort are all essential to successful life.”
