quotes on my mind

"So I guess what I'm sayin' is that some things are your fault and some things ain't, and the ones that ain't, well, you oughtn't waste your time tryin' to blame yourself for those. But the other ones, the ones you can control? Those ones are different. You gotta do something about those..."

"Every man at some point in his life is going to lose a battle. He is going to fight and he is going to lose. But what makes him a man is at the midst of that battle he does not lose himself. This game is not over; this battle is not over. "

"Proud in defeat, humble in victory."
