[Rani Zemirah]

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But, it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!

Here's an Irish toast, which I guess qualifies as a quote, cuz I got it from my Grandma.

Here's to you, and here's to me,
and here's to all we hope to be.
And if by chance, we disagree,
The h*** with you, and here's to Me!
