“The line between failure and success is so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it. How many a man has thrown up his hands at a time when a little more effort, a little more patience, would have achieved success. A little more effort and what seemed a hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.”
-Elbert Hubbard

-Charlie Munger
