Here at last We shall be free;the Almighty hath not built Here for his envy, will not drive us hence: Here we may reign secure, and in my choice To reign is worth ambition though in Hell:Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven.

John Milton
About This Quote

In the famous speech from Shakespeare’s Macbeth Macbeth said “There is nothing, absolutely nothing, half so much worth doing as not doing.” When we feel like we don’t want to accomplish anything, we should remember this quote. When we don’t do what we want to do or when we don’t accomplish what we set out to do, we feel like we are failing and that is something that is not worthy of us. Our goal in life should be to try our hardest to reach our full potential and it is only when we rise above our failures that we learn that real success lies in our ability to overcome obstacles.
