“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

“Life is short, live it. Love is rare, grab it. Anger is bad, dump it. Fear is awful, face it. Memories are sweet, cherish them.”

“A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success.”

“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.”

– Gregg Maddux
