Edward Bulwer-Lytton on failure

Talent does what it can; genius does what it must.

In life, as in art, the beautiful moves in curves.

If you wish to be loved, show more of your faults than your virtues.

I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot, and I missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is precisely why I succeed.

Michael Jordanborn 1963

Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Michael Jordanborn 1963

Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.
