Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Somebody will always break your records. It is how you live that counts.
The majority of men meet with failure because of their lack of persistence in creating new plans to take the place of those which fail.
Men must know their limitations.
Breaking records is not something you expect to be doing. That's like a sports thing, it's not usually a comedy and writing thing.
Adversity makes men, and prosperity makes monsters.
A habitual disuse of physical forces totally destroys the moral; and men lose at once the power of protecting themselves, and of discerning the cause of their oppression.
Adversity is sometimes hard upon a man; but for one man who can stand prosperity, there are a hundred that will stand adversity.
Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound.
Men have never been good, they are not good and they never will be good.
If you break an individual record, it's because of the greatness that comes before you.
