I\'ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I\'ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I\'ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.\"-Michael Jordan\"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, who 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 great enthusiasms, the 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 cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.\"-Theodore Roosevelt“Being HUMBLE means recognizing that we are not on earth to see how important we can become, but to see how much difference we can make in the lives of others.” - Gordon B. Hinckley“Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?”- Castaway \"Dream big, and you may never wake up.\"- The Great Zava\"The right thing is never the wrong thing.\"-Ted Lasso\"I\'m your Huckleberry.\"-Doc Holiday (Tombstone)\"A rising tide lifts all boats\"-JFK
