Robert J. Donovan quotes

It's okay to doubt yourself, it's okay to feel down; just never give up.
There are no perfect human beings! Persons can be found who are good, very good indeed, in fact, great. There do in fact exist creators, seers, sages, saints, shakers, and movers...even if they are uncommon and do not come by the dozen. And yet these very same people can at times be boring, irritating, petulant, selfish, angry, or depressed. To avoid disillusionment with human nature, we must first give up our illusions about it.
Do not be proud of wealth, people, relations and friends, or youth. All these are snatched by time in the blink of an eye. Giving up this illusory world, know and attain the Supreme.
Failure is enriching. It's also important to accept that you'll make mistakes-it's how you build your expertise. The trick is to learn a positive lesson from all of life's negative moments.
Several excuses are always less convincing than one.
Failure and success are not accidents, but the strictest justice.
Magic likes a good tragedy, too.
The real tragedy of the poor is the poverty of their aspirations.
The tragedy is not that things are broken. The tragedy is that things are not mended again.
Small mistakes, the lack of care, little accidents, and somewhere a tipping point is passed and things go badly wrong. Expedition history brims with tragedies built out of incremental missteps.
