"We think sometimes when things happen that don't go the right way; we think that when you don't pass the bar exam the first time... We think that when someone dear to us dies, we think that when we lose an election, we think that when we suffer a defeat that all is ended... Not true. It is only a beginning, always. The young must know it; the old must know it. It must always sustain us, because the greatness comes not when things go always good for you, but the greatness comes and you are really tested, when you take some knocks, some disappointments, when sadness comes, because only if you have been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain."
- President Richard Nixon in his resignation speech as he was leaving the White House.
