when your best just isn't good enough

Quitters never win, Winners never quit,
but those who never win and never quit trying are idiots

every dark cloud has a silver lining
but lightning kills hundreds of people who look for it

in the battle between you and the world, bet on the world

if you can't learn to do something well,
learn to enjoy doing it poorly

that which does not kill me only postpones the inevitable

it could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others

if at first you don't succeed, make failure your style

no matter how great and destructive your problems may seem now, remember,
you've probably only seen the tip of them

you'll always miss 100% of the shots you don't take, and most of the ones
you do

the harder you try, the dumber you look

hard work pays off after time
laziness always pays off right now

always darkest just before it goes pitch black

while people are free to do as they please, they usually
imitate each other

the tallest blade of grass is the first to be cut.
