Sometimes we must get hurt in order to grow,
we must fail in order to know,
Sometimes our vision clears only after our
eyes are washed away with tears.
In every crisis there is a message.
Crises are nature''s way of forcing change--
breaking down old structures,
shaking loose negative habits
so that something new and better
can take their place.
Success consists in being successful, not in having potential for success. Any wide piece of ground is the potential site of a palace, but there''s no palace till it''s built.
