Thomas Jefferson

"In matters of style, swim with the current. In matters of principle, stand like a rock."

I think what Mr. Jefferson was saying is that style changes. People may change, phones may change, cars may change, but you should not. Just because everyone else may be doing something does not mean you have to. If the current is swimming with something that you do not believe in, then you should stop swimming and get out. Stand on what you believe in.

Maya Angelou.

"We may take many defeats, but we must not be defeated."

"If at first you don't succeed. . .You can dust yourself and try it again. You can dust it off and try it again, try it again. Because if at first you don't succeed. . .You dust yourself off and try it again. You can dust yourself off and try it again, try it again." - Aaliyah

Parents

"What makes a good father is not what you leave for your son, but what you leave within your son"

A good father leaves a large shadow for his son. A good father leaves big shoes that are not so easy to fill. A good father is someone you respect to the utmost because you have bared witness to his success and failures. A good father says things that you remember for years after years and over more. A good father is always by your side. A good father raises a good son.

"The surest way NOT to fail is to determine to succed."

Uh, Sure it is. I guess if you are determined enough you can pull off anything you put your mind to. There is no 100% chance that you will not fail though. No  matter how determined and disciplined you may be, no one's perfect, so failure is a possiblity
