KetteringIt's not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled,or the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the manin the arena,who strives valiantly, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at his best, knows the triumph of high achievement; who, at his worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so his place will never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory or defeat. -Theodore RooseveltCourage consists, not in blindly overlooking danger but in seeing and conquering

it. -Jean Paul RichterA great deal of talent is lost in the world for want of a little courage. Everyday sends to their graves obscure men and women whose timidity prevented from making a first effort; who, if they could have been induced to begin, would in allprobability have gone the great length in the career of fame. The fact is, thatto do anything in the world worth doing, we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as we can. -Sydney SmithLife is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as onegoes on. -Samuel ButlerDo the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain. -Ralph Waldo EmersonWhere the way is hardest, there go thou:Follow your own path, and let people talk. -Dante Alighieri

ard rather than what is easy, what is lofty and noble rather than what is mean and selfish; that puts courage into timorous hearts and gladness into clouded spirits. -Arthur C. BensonYou will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor. -AristotleIt is easy to be brave from a safe distance. -AesopCourage is the thing; all goes if courage goes. -Sir JamesAccordingly, when I considered in my own mind how absurd a performance it must seem to those who know that the judgment of many centuries has approved the viewthat the Earth remains fixed as center in the midst of the heavens, if I should,

on the contrary, assert that the Earth moves; I was for a long time at a loss to know whether I should publish the commentaries which I have written in proof of its motion. -Nicolaus CopernicusMy desire of deserving your satisfaction is stronger than ever, and everywhere you will employ me you can be certain of my trying every exertion in my power tosucceed. I am now fixed to your fate, and I shall follow it and sustain it as well by my sword as by all means in my power. -General LafayetteTo endure is greater than to dare; to tire out hostile fortune; to be daunted byno difficulty; to keep heart when all have lost it; to go through intrigue spotless; and to forgo even ambition when the end is gainedwho can say this is not greatness? -William Makepeace ThackerayIf courage is gone, then all is gone!

Ripe, graphic fruits fall off. My hand has become the obedient instrument of a remote will. -Paul KleeIf you are going to find the truth you have to employ fantasy, you have to playat invention and guess a little. When I'm looking for the truth I always look fo

r the opposite because great good and great evil are always there together likechickens at the market. -Gallileo GalleliTo be fruitful in invention, it is indispensable to have a habit of observationand reflection. -Abraham LincolnMy curiosity is my creativity on the way to discovery. -UnknownWhen you take stuff from one writer it's plagiarism; but when you take it from many writers, it's research. -Wilson MiznerThe ideas I stand for are not mine. I borrowed them from Socrates. I swiped themfrom Chesterfield. I stole them from Jesus. And I put them in a book. If you don't like their rules, whose would you use? -Dale CarnegieNo truth is without some mixture of error and no error so false but that it possesses some elements of truth. If a man is in too big a hurry to give up an errorhe is liable to give up some truth with it and in accepting the arguments of th

e other man he is sure to get some error with it. Honest argument is merely a process of mutually picking the beans and motes out of each others eyes so both can see clearly. Men become wise just as they become rich more by what they save than by what they receive. After I get hold of a truth I hate to loose it again and I like to sift all the truth out before I give up an error. -Wilber Wright
