Victory is always possible for the person who refuses to stop fighting.

You have to be burning with an idea, or a problem, or a wrong that you want to right. If you're not passionate enough from the start, you'll never stick it out.

Abandon the idea that you are ever going to finish. Lose track of the 400 pages and write just one page for each day; it helps. Then, when it gets finished, you are always surprised.

To remain indifferent to the challenges we face is indefensible. If the goal is noble, whether or not it is realized within our lifetime is largely irrelevant. What we must do therefore is to strive and persevere and never give up.

Free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or good or joy worth having.

Man is a universe in little.

Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; but if a thing is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.

Impossible is just an opinion.

The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting and achieving goals.

Victory has a hundred fathers and defeat is an orphan.

In reading lives of great people, I found the first victory won was over themselves.

Victory is sweetest when you've known defeat.

Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.
