Success is sometimes just trying one more time. Twenty-three publishers rejected one children's book. But the 24th publisher accepted it and the book sold six million copies. Author of that book was Dr. Seuss.

You may have a fresh start
any moment you choose,
for this thing we call 'failure'
is not the falling down, but the staying down.
Mary Pickford
(1893-1979)

When one door of happiness closes,
another opens; but often we look so long
at the closed door that we do not see
the one that has opened for us.
Helen Keller
(1880-1968)
________________________________
Until one is committed
there is hesitancy,
the chance to draw back,
always ineffectiveness.
Concerning all acts of initiative
(and creation)
there is one elementary truth
the ignorance of which
kills countless ideas
and splendid plans.
That the moment one definitely
commits oneself
then Providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur
to help one
that would never otherwise have occurred.
A whole stream of events
from the decision
raising in one's favour all manner
of unforeseen incidents and meetings
and material assistance
which no man could have dreamt
would come his way.
Whatever you can do
or dream you can,
begin it.
Boldness has genius,
power and magic in it.
Begin it now.
- Goethe
(1749-1832)
