Thankfully, persistence is a great substitute for talent.
You cannot expect victory and plan for defeat.
Ché: And now she wants to be vice-president. Perón's Generals: That was the over-the-top unacceptable suggestion. We didn't approve, but we couldn't prevent the games of the wife of the president. But to give her intentions encouragement - she's out of her depth and out of the question.

And after and for a long time to come he'd have reason to evoke the recollection of [the strangers'] smiles and to reflect upon the good will which provoked them for it had power to protect and to confer honor and to strengthen resolve and it had the power to heal men and to bring them to safety long after all other resources were exhausted.
William: You know, it got a lot darker while I was busy. Holly Kennedy: [after encouragement to say something from Sharon and Denise] [takes a sip] Holly Kennedy: Mm. Yeah, it gets dark at night...here.

Years and years ago, I read a great interview with Jam and Lewis, the R&B producers, in which they described what it was like to be members of Prince's band. They'd sit down, and Prince would tell them what he wanted them to play, and they'd explain that they couldn't--they weren't quick enough, or good enough.
