The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want. — Ben Stein. American writer and commentator (born 1944) Decisions, Life

It is inevitable that some defeat will enter even the most victorious life. The human spirit is never finished when it is defeated...it is finished when it surrenders.
