• I will persist until I succeed. I was not delivered into this world into defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepperd. I am lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny. I will persist until I succeed.

• And many kinds of creatures must have died,
  Unable to plant out new sprouts of life.
  For whatever you see that lives and breathes and thrives
  Has been, from the very beginning, guarded, saved
  By it's trickery for its swiftness or brute strength.
  And many have been entrusted to our care,
  Commended by their usefulness to us.
  For instance, strength supports a savage lion;
  Foxes rely on their cunning; deer their flight.
