I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.
Sophocles

Sugarman, Joseph

Who has never tasted what is bitter does not know what is sweet.
Proverb, German

Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong.
Fitzgerald, Ella
