It's always darkest before the dawn...yadda yadda yadda

By Grabthar’s hammer, by the sons of Worvan, you shall be avenged.

"Defeat may test you; it need not stop you. If at first you don’t succeed, try another way. For every obstacle there is a solution. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. The greatest mistake is giving up."

"Anyone can give up, it’s the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that’s true strength."

"Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."

"Lots of people limit their possibilities by giving up easily. Never tell yourself this is too much for me. It’s no use. I can’t go on. If you do you’re licked, and by your own thinking too. Keep believing and keep on keeping on."

Dang fake Beatles put this in my head......

What have I done to deserve such a fate
I realize I have left it too late
And so it’s true, pride comes before a fall
I’m telling you so that you won’t lose all…..

I’m a loser
And I lost someone who’s near to me
I’m a loser
And I’m not what I appear to be…

Don't forget there's a verse that mentions acting like a clown...

Although I laugh and I act like a clown
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for ~~her~~ the Nats or myself that I cry

I’m a loser
