Before you attempt to beat the Odds,
Be sure that you could survive the Odds Beating You.
-- From a poster on despair.com
If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don't
If you want to win but think you can't
It's almost a cinch you won't
If you think you'll lose you're lost
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will;
It's all in the state of mind
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger and faster man
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can."
-- Norman Vincent Peale
The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.
