A person unlearns arrogance when he knows he is always among worthy human beings; being alone fosters presumption. Young people are arrogant because they always associate with their own peers, those who are all really nothing but who would like to be very important.

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.

 

-Samuel Beckett

Maybe not a good idea to take literally, especially in patient care, but a humble way of saying "keep on keeping on".

That's a good one. Probably most relevant quote on this forum.

Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.

The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.

So weird, just wanted to post a quote by Winston Churchill (love him) and saw that the previous poster did just that!

 

Here's another quote:)

 

"When you're walking through hell, keep walking."

 

 

And here's one by Theodor Roosevelt:

 

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

If you can dream it, you can do it.

Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.
