My favorite quotes
These are in no particular order...and I add more as they come to me
Life shrinks and expands in proportion to one's courage.
~Anaiis Nin
"Until he has been part of a cause larger than himself,
no man is truly whole."
~Richard Nixon
"Conviction...is worthless till it converts itself into
Conduct." ~Thomas Carlyle
"When you come to the end of all the light you know, and it's time to step
into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things
shall happen: Either you will be given something solid to stand on or you
will be taught to fly." ~Edward Teller
"Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly."
~Robert Kennedy
"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 no effort without error and shortcoming;
but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great
enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause, who
at the best knows in the end the triumphs of high achievement and who at
worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place
shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor
defeat." ~Theodore Roosevelt
