Theodore Roosevelt-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.


I think of this one every day I'm at work.


Before I changed it a few years back, this one was my signature quote.





Strive to live your life so when you wake up in the morning and your feet hit the floor, the devil says "Oh crap, he's up."

Thanks to Para years back, mine is my CUT.

To me it just means that even though we may try to hold on to the past or go back to another time in our lives, we truly can't. Life is about creating new memories, living in the present and always moving forward.

Thru high school I had a desk in my bedroom that had a blotter on it. The newspaper would run a quote of the day and I would cut out the ones I liked and tape them to my blotter.

My signature line is one my favorites, and another I liked and had taped to my desk was from Eleanor Roosevelt:

quote:
Do what you know in your heart to be right, for you will be criticized anyway.



“Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.”
- John Adams

I struggle between what I know is right in my own mind, and some warped truthfulness as seen through other people's eyes who have no heart, and can't see the difference anyway.
