"It is not the critic who counts. Not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena. Who's face is marred by dust and sweat and tears, who strives valiantly, who errs greatly, who comes up short again and again, because their is no effort without error, no victory without shortcoming. But who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause. Who at best , if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be amongst those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

"People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.” - Kent Keith
