A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.
~Author : Martin H Fischer Great Words Quotes
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
and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without
error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed;
who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, 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 he fails while
daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and
timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
~Author : Theodore Roosevelt Man in the Arena Speech given April 23 1910 Inspirational Sayings

interest, and to make a good countenance without the help of good will.
