Quotes
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
