I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the
position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he
has had to overcome while trying to succeed.
You had better live your best and act your best and think your
best today; for today is the sure preparation for tomorrow and all
the other tomorrows that follow
-- Harriet Martineau quotes (English Essayist and Novelist.
1802-1876)
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we
look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which
has been opened for us.
