“Failure is not a disgrace. It’s just a pitch that you missed, and you’d better get ready for the next one… My son and I are Americans, we prepare for glory by failing until we don’t.”

“Failure is acceptable. but not trying is a whole different ball park.”

“You look at yourself and you accept yourself for who you are, and once you accept yourself for who you are you become a better person.”
