"Before success comes in any man's life, he is sure to be met with much temporary defeat, perhaps some failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and the most logical thing to do is to quit. Failure is a trickster with a keen sense of irony and cunning. It takes great delight in tripping one when success is almost within reach." - Napoleon Hill
"Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor." - Truman Capote
