That quote right there covers all life, the ups and downs, successes, failures, the willingness to attempt without fear.

This is true. You have to try and think you're right. If you are proved wrong, so what? YOU by just doing that are braver than most.

FRIENDSHIP
I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot...and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's precisely why I succeed. #<Author:0x00007fdfde85d2a0>
MOTIVATION
Whoever you are, whatever your dream, you have to be strong in your head and strong in your heart. Be strong. There's no quitting in the person who wants it bad enough. #<Author:0x00007fdfde8acee0>
STRENGTH
Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do. #<Author:0x00007fdfde8a2260>
DRIVE
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. #<Author:0x00007fdfddb47638>
LIVE LIFE
If a person seems wicked, do not cast him away. Awaken him with your words, elevate him with your deeds, repay his injury with your kindness. Do not cast him away; cast away his wickedness. #<Author:0x00007fdfddb5dd48>
COMPASSION
Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart. #<Author:0x00007fdfddb594c8>
PEACE
The root of all health is in the brain. The trunk of it is in emotion. The branches and leaves are the body. The flower of health blooms when all parts work together. #<Author:0x00007fdfddb54ba8>
HEALTH
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go... #<Author:0x00007fdfddb50b48>
SPREAD YOUR WINGS
No winter lasts forever; no spring skips it's turn. #<Author:0x00007fdfdd917f98>
OPTIMISM
There’s something very freeing about losing the anchors that have always defined you. Frightening, sad, but exhilarating in a poignant way, as well. You’re free to float to the moon and evaporate or sink to the bottom of the deepest ocean. But you’re free to explore. Some people confuse that with drifting, I suppose. I like to think of it as growing. #<Author:0x00007fdfdd910e78>
SPREAD YOUR WINGS
We have to stand up for what we believe in, even when we might not be popular for it. Honesty starts with being ourselves, authentic and true to who we are and what we believe in, and that may not always be popular, but it will always let you follow your dreams and your heart. #<Author:0x00007fdfdd04b9a0>
HONESTY
Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit. #<Author:0x00007fdfdd0460e0>
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
My family is my life, and everything else comes second as far as what's important to me. #<Author:0x00007fdfdd041360>
FAMILY
There are good ships and wood ships, ships that sail the sea, but the best ships are friendships, may they always be! #<Author:0x00007fdfdcb4c9e0>
FRIENDSHIP
One of the great ironies of life is this: he or she who serves almost always benefits more than he or she who is served. #<Author:0x00007fdfdcb49560>
