A quote I like (rather, LOVE!)

"I was not delivered unto this world in defeat, nor does failure coarse in my veins. I'm not a sheep waiting to be slaughtered by my Sheppard. I am a LION and I refuse to walk to talk to sleep with the sheep. I will hear not those who weep and complain for their disease is contagious, let them join the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny. I will persist until I succeed."
