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, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; 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 fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. choose your life's mate carefully Give so that when ya children thinks of fairness, caring and integrity; they think of you. I hope I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider to be the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man ......... I believe that every right implies a responsibility, every opportunity an obligation, every possession a duty I believe that truth and justice are fundamental to an enduring social order. I believe in the sacredness of a promise, that a man's word should be as good as his bond; that character not wealth or power is worth supreme. I believe that love is the greatest thing in the world, that it alone can overcome hate, that right can and will triumph over might........... Be happy with what you have while working for what you want. Look for opportunities to make people feel important many of the things you can count, don't count Many of the things you can't count, really count. You have a lifetime to work, but children are young once Never give up on what to do The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts Leave everything a little better than you found it, have courage when things go wrong... #dopehlshadyjc
