If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don’t.
If you like to win but think you can’t,
It’s almost a cinch you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost.
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will.
It’s all in the state of mind.
If you think you are out classed, you are.
You’ve got to think high to rise.
You’ve got to be sure of your-self before
You can ever win the prize.
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man.
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can

“Can you imagine how hard it would be if none of us spoke the same language and our grandparents killed each other in World War II? Why did you ever think you could get on the same currency, Europe? You guys have shared a tiny continent for 2,000 years and you don’t speak the same language! Belgium has two languages and it’s the size of a Midwestern college campus!” — SETH MEYERS, regarding the Eurozone and the Greek economic crisis, on Saturday Night Live (via inothernews)

“Do the math: you’ve got a $40 billion big blob of media that owns Fox News, Fox Sports, (the) New York Post, Wall St. Journal; they closed a 168-year-old newspaper; and they’re run by an 80-year-old guy who almost got hit in Parliament by a pie in the face — and he was saved by his hot Chinese wife. I mean, that’s a great story!” — New York Times media writer DAVID CARR, on why journalists care about the phone hacking scandal, on The colbert Report (via inothernews)
