Favorite Quotes
I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life, as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.
- Booker T. Washington

- Attributed to Mark Twain
Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

This is a very important lesson. You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end--which you can never afford to lose--with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.
- James Stockdale
