“Indecision kills hope. It's better to fail at trying than to not make a move at all.”

“In times of storm and tempest, of indecision and desolation, a book already known and loved makes better reading than something new and untried… nothing is so warming and companionable.”

“Passing out while you try to kill yourself is like failing at failing.”

“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.”

“Sometimes it's better to end something & try to start something new than imprison yourself in hoping for the impossible.”

“Failure is a reality; we all fail at times, and it's painful when we do. But it's better to fail while striving for something wonderful, challenging, adventurous, and uncertain than to say, " I don't want to try because I may not succeed completely.”

“Don't try to be better than others. Try to be better than yourself.”

“Failing sucks. But it's better than the alternative."

“They are trying to make my God a liar. That I will not accept. If that's the case, then better to be poor and loyal to God than to have all the money in the world.”

“Why do people move? What makes them uproot and leave everything they've known for a great unknown beyond the horizon?… The answer is the same the world over: people move in the hope of a better life.”
