It is said that during his last days, a friend walked into where W.C Fields, the lifelong agnostic, lay on his deathbed.. and was shocked to see him reading a Bible.

Amazed at this turn of events he asked why - to which, as only WC Fields could, - he explained simply:-

"I'm looking for a loop-hole,"

If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don't
If you'd like to win, but think you can't
it's almost certain you won't
If you think you'll lose, you've lost
For out of the world we find
Success begins with a fellows will -
It's all a state of mind.
If you think you're outclassed, you are
You've got to think high to rise
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.

Life's battle don't always go
To the stronger or faster man
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.
Anon

“From time to time, life as a leader can look hopeless. To help you, consider a man who lived through this: Failed in business at age 31. Defeated for the legislature at 32. Again failed in business at 34. Sweetheart died at 35. Had a nervous breakdown at 36. Defeated in election at 38. Defeated for Congress at 43. Defeated for Congress at 46. Defeated for Congress at 48. Defeated for Senate at 55. Defeated for Vice President at 56. Defeated for Senate at 58. Elected President at age 60. This man was Abraham Lincoln.”
