11. "If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place." - Nora Roberts

14. "When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it." - Henry Ford
