“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 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 up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for 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 knew neither victory nor defeat.”
“Whenever you are asked if you can do a job, tell ‘em, ‘Certainly I can!’ Then get busy and find out how to do it.”

“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.”
“I’m a great believer in luck and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.”
“The brick walls are there for a reason ... to show us how badly we want something, Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.”
“It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.”
“The way to get started is to quit talking and start doing”
“Success breeds complacency. Complacency breeds failure. Only the paranoid survive.”
