“When things go wrong, as they sometimes will; When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill; When the funds are low and the debts are high; And you want to smile but you have to sigh. When all is pressing you down a bit- Rest if you must, but don’t you quit; Success is failure turned inside out; The silver tint on the clouds of doubt; And you can never tell how close you are; It may be near when it seems far. So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit – It’s when things go wrong that you must not quit.”

– John Greenleaf Whittier

“There’s always stuff to learn. There’s stuff I didn’t hear until I was 40 that I wish I had hear when I was 20. There’s stuff I hear now that I’ve never heard before.”

“A smooth sea never made a skillful sailor.”
