“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. 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 short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in 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 know neither victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.”
Margaret Mead
“I don't wait for moods. You accomplish nothing if you do that. Your mind must know it has got to get down to work.”

“Find the strength and confidence to conquer what you hide from; only then will you have the courage and willpower to achieve the things you seek.”
Meagan Elizabeth Keyes
“Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.”
