Time for another quotes roundup! These are things I wish to remind myself and hope to never forget:
Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.
–Winston Churchill
Not doing more than the average is what keeps the average down.
–William M. Winans
Life is to be lived, not controlled, and humanity is won by continuing to play in face of certain defeat.
–Ralph Ellison
Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err.
–Mohandas K. Gandhi
I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure: which is: Try to please everybody.

The torment of human frustration, whatever its immediate cause, is the knowledge that the self is in prison, its vital force and “mangled mind” leaking away in lonely, wasteful self-conflict.
–Elizabeth Drew
My will shall shape the future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man’s doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice; my responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny.
–Elaine Maxwell
The deepest human defeat suffered by human beings is constituted by the difference between what one was capable of becoming and what one has in fact become.
–Ashley Montagu
Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.
–Anais Nin
