For a tree to become tall it must grow tough roots among the rocks.
Nietzsche


I am not judged by the number of times I fail, but by the number of times I succeed: and the number of times I succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times I fail and keep trying.
Tom Hopkins


Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one's ideas, to take a calculated risk - and to act.
Andre Malraux


We seem to gain wisdom more readily through our failures than through our successes. We always think of failure as the antithesis of success, but it isn't. Success often lies just the other side of failure.
Leo Buscaglia


Even after a bad harvest there must be sowing.
Seneca

Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement.
C.S. Lewis


A professional writer is an amateur who didn't quit.
Richard Bach


For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.
Van Gogh



Just keep swimming
Just keep swimming
Just keep swimming swimming swimming
Dory, Finding Nemo

  1. Like that you included the profound quote from Dory. It's very important to keep swimming. Or flying, if your name is Nigel.

    Great movie. One of my favorites of Pixar's, although "Up" is up there as well. :)
