Integrate the following quote by John Smith (2005, p. 22) into a sentence about the importance of perseverance: "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts." The following quote needs to have a section removed for brevity: "The dog, a golden retriever, was known for its playful nature, often chasing squirrels and barking at the mailman, but it also enjoyed napping in the sun." Shorten the quote using ellipses, removing the phrase "often chasing squirrels and barking at the mailman."
