A RECIPE
FOR SUCCESS
There are lots of places in life that can cause a man to stumble, but don't you
ever quit. There are lots of points at which we feel we cannot
go on, but don't you quit. There are lots of sorrows that may force you to
your knees, but don't you ever, ever, ever quit. For every time you get
up, you build character. Every time you overcome, you attain inspiration
and every time you start again, you are born anew.

History has
demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered heartbreaking
obstacles before they triumphed. They won because they refused to become
discouraged by their defeats.
~Bertie C. Forbes~
Character cannot be
developed in ease & quiet. Only through experience of trial & suffering can the
soul be strengthened, ambition inspired & success achieved.
