Nine-tenths of wisdom is being wise in time.

No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care

To expect defeat is nine-tenths of defeat itself.

Possession isn't nine-tenths of the law. It's nine-tenths of the problem.

The only man who never makes mistakes is the man who never does anything.

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.
