If the amount of times we get up is just one less than the amount of times that we've been knocked down, then we're spending our lives lying down.

When we choose to stay down, we are in reality confusing wisdom with cowardice. When we choose to stand back up, we are using wisdom to overcome cowardice.

To fall is not to fail. To fail is to never fall because I never got up in the first place.

Because I have ‘chosen’ to see something as impossible, there’s a good chance that it’s not.

Let me be strong, for to be anything else is to languish in the abyss of compromise and to descend to places of impoverishment so destitute that they will squelch my soul and crush my heart.

The most critical time in any battle is not when I’m fatigued, it’s when I no longer care.
