The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:It is both foolish and wicked to teach the average man who is not well off that some wrong or injustice has been done him, and that he should hope for redress elsewhere than in his own industry, honesty, and intelligence.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:My observation is that whenever one person is found adequate to the discharge of a duty.

The worst has been done in turmoil.[Thomas Edison] Quote:In politics, if you want anything said, ask a man; if you want anything done, ask a woman.[Margaret Thatcher] Quote:Pretty much all the honest truth-telling there is in the world is done by children.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:There will be two kinds of people in the end: Those that will say to God 'Thy will be done' and those to whom God will say 'Thy will be done.'[C.S. Lewis] Quote:I arrive at the end of this review having done my duty as a critic. I have described the movie accurately and you have a good idea what you are in for if you go to see it. Most of you will not. I cannot argue with you. Some of you will--the brave and the curious. You embody the spirit of the man who first wondered what it would taste like to eat an oyster.[Roger Ebert] Quote:The art of acceptance is the art of making someone who has done you a small favor wish that he might have done you a greater one.[Russell Lynes] Quote:A great part of courage is the courage of having done the thing before.[Ralph Waldo Emerson] Quote:Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.[George Eliot] Quote:My political ambitions have nothing to do with vanity or the desire for power.

[Alfred North Whitehead] Quote:Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.
