No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling the field as in writing a poem.
~ Booker T. Washington~
I am the people -the mob-the crowd-the mass. Do you know that all the great work o the world is done through me?
~Carl Sandburg~
I never did anything worth doing by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work.
~Thomas Alva Edison~
Even the woodpecker owes his success to the fact that he uses his head and keeps pecking away until he finishes the job he starts.
~Coleman Cox~
Without perseverance talent is a barren bed.
~ A Welsh Proverb~
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 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, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at worst if he failsat least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
~Theodore Roosevelt~
