&quot;I&#039;ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I&#039;ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I&#039;ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I&#039;ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.&quot;<br /> ~Michael Jordan

&ldquo;Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.&rdquo; - Laozi<br /> &quot;God does not give heed to the ambitiousness of our prayers, because he is always ready to give to us his light, not a visible light but an intellectual and spiritual one; but we are not always ready to receive it when we turn aside and down to other things out of a desire for temporal things.&quot;-Saint Augustine<br /> &quot;Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.&quot; - John F Kennedy
