2 quotes from Booker T. Washington:

"Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has
reached in life... as by the obstacles which he has overcome while
trying to succeed."

"I shall allow no man to belittle my soul by making me hate him."


And one from Winston Churchill:

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to
continue that counts."

Ganbare!!
