Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard
than anyone else expects of you. Never excuse yourself.

--Henry Ward Beecher

impossible conditions are people who simply don't
know how to quit.

We should not look back unless it is to derive
useful lessons from past errors, and for the
purpose of profiting by dearly bought experience.

--George Washington
