New Beginnings, by Helen Steiner Rice:
How often we wish for another chance
to have a fresh beginning
A chance to blot out our mistakes
and change failure into winning.
It does not take a new year
to make a brand new start.
It only takes the deep desire
to try with all your heart.
To live a little better
and to always be forgiving
To add a little sunshine
to the world in which we are living.
So, never give up in despair
and think that you are through,
For there's always a tomorrow
and a chance to start anew.

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”
“There’s no elevator to success. You have to take the stairs.”
“Success comes in cans; failure in can’ts.”
“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.”
Success is a ladder that cannot be climbed with your hands in your pocket.”
“The dictionary is the only place where success comes before work.”
