Invictus

Out of the night that covers me
Black as the pit from pole to pole
I thank whatever Gods may be,
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud
Under the bludgeoning of chance
My head is bloody but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate
How charged with punishments the scroll
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul

"A man always is to be himself the judge how much of his mind he will show to other men: even to those he would have work along with him. There are impertinent inquiries made: your rule is, to leave the inquireer uniformed on that matter; not, if you can help it, misinformed; but precisely as dark as he was!"- Thomas Carlye-

"It isn't so astonishing, the number of things that i can remember, as the number of things I can remember that aren't so."-Josh Billings-

"It is difficulties which show what men are"-Epictetus-

"What is defeat? Nothing but education; nothing but the first step to something better."
-Wendell Phillips-

"Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome."
-Isaac Asimov-

"Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the miracle."
-Phillips Brooks-

Failing

“Don't be afraid to fail. Don't waste energy trying to cover up failure. Learn from your failures and go on to the next challenge. It's OK to fail. If you're not failing, you're not growing.”

"Failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently."
Henery Ford

Once we realize that imperfect understanding is the human condition, there is no shame in being wrong, only in failing to correct our mistakes.

"The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dreams shall never die."

"The true way to render ourselves happy is to love our work and find in it our pleasure."

"I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen."

The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.
Socrates


Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others have labored hard for.
