QUOTES OF THE WEEK

Here they are, your little pieces of inspiration for the week:

Don't ask for a light load, but rather ask for a strong back. - Anonymous

Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. - Joshua J. Marine

In order to be walked on, you have to be lying down. - Brian Weir

I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward. - Thomas Edison

Try not to become a man of success but a man of value. - Albert Einstein

It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, 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; who knows great enthusiasms, great devotions; 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 fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt
