Other Sherman Finesilver Quotes

Keep these concepts in mind: You've failed many times, although you don't remember. You fell down the first time you tried to walk. You almost drowned the first time you tried to swim.... R. H. Macy failed 7 times before his store in New York caught on. Babe Ruth struck out 1,330 times. Don't worry about failure. My suggestion to each of you: Worry about the chances you miss when you don't even try.

Do not confuse notoriety and fame with greatness.... For you see, greatness is a measure of one's spirit, not a result of one's rank in human affairs.
