Laziness is a secret ingredient that goes into failure. But it's only kept a secret from the person who fails.

Destiny: A tyrant's authority for crime and a fool's excuse for failure.

Failure is not an option. Everyone has to succeed.

Sound character provides the power with which a person may ride the emergencies of life instead of being overwhelmed by them. Failure is... the highway to success.

There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat except from within no really insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose.
