The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart.

Many a man has finally succeeded only because he has failed after repeated efforts. If he had never met defeat he would never have known any great victory.

What would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?
-- Robert Schuller

You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try.
-- Beverly Sills

And my favorites:

Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure.
-- George E. Woodberry


I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
-- Thomas Edison


Always bear in mind that your own resolution to success is more important than any other one thing.
-- Abraham Lincoln


Accept that you're failing, and you can move on; decide that it's not a failure for X, Y, or Z reasons -- you're in DENIAL.
Dude...none of these quotes - none - have anything to do with medical illness. Oh, sure, you have to believe you'll get well and all that, but if you don't, you haven't failed. It's just tough shit for you.

It is simply amazing that you can still try to turn a lost cause of yours into something else with a quote war. Anyone can Google the hell out of quotes and find tons of stuff. Means nothing. Cynthetiq was mearly trying to add a little something to put things in perspective but you obvioulsy couldn't see it that way.

It takes a big person to admit when they're wrong. You continue to show your size in this thread.
