(119 votes)   Sometimes I pause and sadly think of all the things that might have been. Of all the golden chances I let slip by, And which never returned again.

(60 votes)   People who come up with ''It may not work'' or ''What are we going to do if it fails?'' do not have the credentials to be businessmen. If there is only a 1 percent chance of success, a true businessperson sees that 1 percent as the spark to light a fire.
