“Drag your thoughts away from your troubles... by the ears, by the heels, or any other way you can manage it.”
“By trying we can easily endure adversity. Another man's, I mean.”
“All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure. You can "already know for sure" things that could actually impede progress. Always be on the lookout for the things you did not know, that you did not know. Secondly, work on strengthening personal belief that a particular will be achieved regardless of any adversity that may show up, or evidence to the contrary.”
“It's easy to endure adversity -- if it happens to someone else.”
