Whatever you do, do it so well that people looking on will feel that the task was reserved especially for you by God Himself.

Benjamin E. Mays

The tragedy of life is not found in failure but complacency. Not in you doing too much, but doing too little. Not in you living above your means, but below your capacity. It’s not failure but aiming too low, that is life’s greatest tragedy.
BENJAMIN E. MAYS

The tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.

Not failure, but low aim is sin.
