Solus
- The Face of Defeat
A true master of an activity has failed more times than any novice has ever attempted. Success is not achieved by the person who does not fail, such a person does not exist; it is earned by the person who does not give up. Learn from your mistakes, practice routinely, and in time you may see yourself among the best.
Plato
- Socrates - The Apology
For if you think that by killing men you can avoid the accuser censoring your lives, you are mistaken; that is not a way of escape which is either possible or honorable; the easiest and the noblest way is not to be crushing others, but to be improving yourselves.
