Remember, too, that all who succeed in life get off to a bad start, and pass through many heartbreaking struggles before they 'arrive'. The turning point in the lives of those who succeed usually comes at some moment of crisis, through which they are introduced to their 'other selves'. - Napoleon Hill

One who has loved truly, can never lose entirely. Love is whimsical and temperamental. Its nature is ephemeral, and transitory. It comes when it pleases, and goes away without warning.

Before success comes in any man's life, he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat, and,perhaps, some failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is quit.
