While I'm quoting poetry...
They said that it could not be done.
He said, "Just let me try."
They said other men have tried and failed--
He answered, "But not I."
They said it was impossible.
He said, "There's no such word."
He closed his mind, he closed his heart
To everything he heard.
He said, "Within the heart of man
There is a tiny seed.
It grows until it blossoms--
It's called the will to succeed.
"Its roots are strength,
Its stem is hope, its petals inspiration.
Its thorns protect strong, green leaves
With grim determination.
"Its stamen are its skills,
Which help to shape each plan.
For there's nothing in the universe
Beyond the scope of man."
They thought that it could not be done.
Some even said they knew it.
But he faced up to what could not be done...
And he couldn't bloody do it.
