the greatest failure is not trying at all.

I had a boyfriend once who told me I'd never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I'd fail. I said to him: Someday, when we're not together, you won't be able to order a cup of coffee at the fuckin' deli without hearing or seeing me. - Lady Gaga

I'mma be what i set out to be, without a doubt undoubtably - eminem

When things start to get hard, don’t let it defeat you. remember why you started doing it in the first place.

Always hold your head high and look the world right in the eye
